Registration of Small Planter

Registration of Farmers

As stipulated by the SFWF’s Act No. 12 of 2002:

Section 2: A small farmer is defined as a small planter, small breeder or small agro–processor or a group of small planters, breeders or agro-processors registered with the Fund.

Section 16 – Contributions to Fund:

For the purposes of this Act, a small planter who wishes to benefit from any scheme set up under section 4 (2)(b) or facilities granted by the Government shall, except for a cane planter, be:

     
  • Registered with the Fund
  •  
  • Subscribed to a Farmer’s Protection Scheme

The registration of farmers allows the extension of facilities to eligible bonafide farmers in a structured and efficient manner.

Following the registration exercise:

     
  1. A Farmer’s Card is issued to each registered farmer.
  2.  
  3. A Farmers Central Database (FCD) was established to store economic and social data of the farming community.

The FCD supports implementation of relevant schemes and is shared with other institutions for the development of the agricultural sector.
