Description
This study employs a machine learningbased feature selection approach to identify key factors that significantly enhance the predictive accuracy of models assessing farmer producer organization (FPO) performance. It focused on an FPO in the Anantapur and Kadapa districts of Andhra Pradesh, India; the research investigated the operational effectiveness of small and marginal farmers who are members by the end of 2022. The study reviewed existing shortcomings and proposed necessary policy amendments to ensure the sustainability of FPOs. The study utilized a survey design method, with the exploratory questionnaire through the field study. A sample of 73 small-scale producer farmers from the region was selected for the analysis. The result indicated that a) the reason for the operational efficiency of FPOs, b) the gradient boosting regressor achieved the highest testing accuracy of 0.78 to predict the best feature for FPO performance, and c) FPO insights for policy guidelines. 2025 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
