Producer Company Registration: Empowering Farmers and Artisans through Collective Action

Introduction:

A Producer Company is a unique form of company specifically designed to empower primary producers, such as farmers, artisans, fishermen, and other individuals engaged in primary production. It allows these producers to collectively process, market, and sell their produce, gaining bargaining power and economic benefits. The Producer Companies Act, 2002, governs the formation and operation of Producer Companies in India.

  • Value Addition: They can process and market their produce collectively, adding value and creating higher-quality products.
