Exploring knowledge structure in farmer producer organisations and agri-entrepreneurship: A bibliometric visualisation

This study explores the evolving knowledge structure of research on Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) and Agri-entrepreneurship through a bibliometric visualisation using VOSviewer. The network visualisation reveals several interconnected clusters highlighting key research themes such as innovation, sustainability, productivity, and farmer participation, indicating strong linkages between organizational, technological, and socio-economic aspects. The overlay visualisation demonstrates the temporal evolution of the field, where early studies focused on conceptual frameworks of innovation and entrepreneurship; transitioning towards empirical analyses of productivity, farmer engagement, and institutional mechanisms; and recently advancing toward technology-driven and application-oriented research. The density visualisation further identifies high-intensity research zones around production, growth, and sustainability, confirming these as the core thematic areas, while emerging topics such as waste management, resilience, and circular economy remain underexplored. Collectively, these findings depict an increasingly interdisciplinary and dynamic research landscape, emphasizing innovation-led sustainability and the transformative role of FPOs in promoting agri-entrepreneurial development and rural advancement.
