Organisational Structure


The establishment of the Small Farmers’ Agri-Business Consortium (SFAC) in 1994 was a sequel to the Finance Minister’s 1992-93 Budget Speech including Government of India’s intention to set up an autonomous body for the promotion and development of small farmers’ agri-business activities. Such a body would be funded by institutions such as the RBI, NABARD, IDBI and the like. It was much clear that the Consortium’s membership would include inter-alia, various Development Banks, Public Sector Corporations, Private Sector Companies, Scientific Institutions, besides Farmers’ Associations.


The SFAC was envisaged as a catalytic/facilitating agent to promote the type of activities enumerated on the principles of economic efficiency, environmental soundness and social equity, so that the country began a new chapter in its agricultural history, where farm enterprises would yield not only more quality products but also more productive jobs and higher income in rural areas.
The Executive Committee is chaired by the vice-president who is the Secretary, Ministry of agriculture & co-operation, while the M.D SFAC, the representative of APEDA, the representative National Horticulture Board and joint secretary trade are present as members.
The committee deliberates on the executive matters for submission to the Board of Management.

The Investment Committee is chaired by the M.D of SFAC with members from various
