Cluster Development Approach

FMC targets a cluster of enterprises rather than individual MSMEs to achieve environmental and livelihood goals. Due to their small size, MSMEs are not able to achieve economies of scale and are not able to take advantage of available opportunities. They often lack bargaining power, access to support services and influence over policy ecosystem. Unhealthy competition exists in the cluster.
FMC addresses these issues by working closely with stakeholders and value chain partners to build collective efficiency for sustenance of the cluster enterprises. FMC identifies key gaps and opportunities in skills, finance, marketing, energy use etc. and devise business-oriented strategies and action plans for execution.
