Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) are being established so that it can help farmers in earning more returns through collective input purchase, collective marketing, processing, increasing productivity through procuring better inputs, augmenting knowledge of farmers in better management practices and ensuring quality. An attempt was made to develop a standardized scale to analyze the attitude of members towards Farmer Producer Organization (FPO) using summated rating methods suggested by Likert and Edwards. The attitude scale developed was found to be highly reliable and valid. The final attitude scale consisted of 22 statements and this scale was administered to 30 farmers in Doddabalapura district in Karnataka during 2019-2020 to analyse their attitude of members towards Farmer Producer Organization (FPO). These farmers were personally interviewed using schedule. The results revealed that a vast majority of farmers (73.33%) had favourable to more favourable attitude towards Farmer Producer Organization (FPO). The possible reason is that large number of members of FPO is small and marginal farmers in the project area. They felt the necessity of associations are more essential for their sustained development than large farmers, hence the results.
