In August 2021, the Editors of the Asian Journal of Agriculture and Development (AJAD) became aware of suspected plagiarism regarding this article.  AJAD and its Editorial Board immediately launched a full investigation and found significant unacknowledged and duplicate content from an earlier published project report Farmer Producer Companies: Past, Present and Future by R. Govil, A. Neti and M. Rao (2020).  Therefore, AJAD’s editors and publisher have decided to retract this article for reasons of plagiarism and are taking steps to avoid similar incidents in the future.  

All authors are reminded that submitting their manuscript to AJAD includes certifying that it is their original work, with all references and sources duly acknowledged and cited.
