Eligibility & Important Notes
Eligibility: Each membership tier, including Youth and ABC Membership, has its own eligibility criteria. Applications are reviewed by FPI, and admission may depend on verification of identity, farming or business activity, training completion, location, and programme capacity.
What membership does not guarantee: Membership does not guarantee financing, grants, land, equipment, certification, contracts, market access, buyers, prices, income, or profits. Access to benefits, infrastructure, and programmes is subject to eligibility, availability, signed contracts, audits, compliance checks, and formal approvals.
Programme terms, fees, and benefits may change. Certified status is granted only after successful assessment and audit, and may be reviewed or withdrawn if standards are not maintained.
