The mean annual income score of members was Rs.2,41,514 and non- members was Rs.2,02,278. With respect to tomato growers, FPO members had 84.30 qtl/acre and non-members were had 71.25 qtl/acre.

The result of the study revealed that the factors contributing to success in the organisations were highly significant. To keep the organisations sustainable for a long time, the activities implemented by it should be economically viable and should confer social equity among all the beneficiaries.
