Producer Company

A producer Company is a company incorporated for production, harvesting, procurement, grading, pooling, handling, marketing, selling, the export of primary produce of the Members or import of goods or services for their benefit. Hence, a producer company primarily deals with agriculture & post harvesting activities. The concept of producer companies was introduced to empower farmers.

It can be formed by 10 or more producers or two or more producer institutions or a combination of 10 or more producers and producer institutions. It can only have equity capital, require a minimum of five directors and authorized capital of Rs. 5 lakh. The important point is to note that it cannot be converted into a public company but can be converted into a multistate co-operative society. Production businesses, marketing businesses, technical service businesses, financing businesses & infrastructure businesses providing services to producers can be registered as a producer company. The process of registering a producer company is similar to a private limited company.

Why the Producer Company?

SEPARATE LEGAL ENTITY	A Producer company is considered as a separate legal entity for the law. Accordingly, it can hold property in its name, sue & be sued, borrow in its name, etc.
LIMITED LIABILITY	The members are considered separate from the company. So, they are not liable for the creditors of the company.
NO CLAIM ON PROPERTY OF COMPANY	Since, it is considered as a juristic person, no member can claim any rights over the property of a Producer Company as long as it is going concern.
PERPETUAL SUCCESSION	The existence of a producer Company does get affected due to the departure or death of any member.
CREDIBILITY	A Producer Company enjoys better credibility as it is registered and managed by the central government in contrary to mutual benefit organizations that are registered & monitored by state governments.
