What is a Producer Company?

A Producer Company is a corporate entity incorporated under the Companies Act 2013 (Sections 378A–378ZT) for the primary purpose of production, harvesting, procurement, grading, pooling, handling, marketing, selling, or export of primary produce of its members. Members can be individuals engaged in primary production (farming, dairy, fishing, handicrafts, etc.) or institutions involved in primary production. A Producer Company combines the democratic governance of a cooperative with the organisational advantages of a limited liability company — enabling farmers and rural producers to access better markets, government subsidies, and institutional finance.

Profit Distribution to Members:

Surplus profits can be distributed as patronage bonuses based on the volume of business each member transacts with the company.
