Over the period Producer Company has gained popularity due to the following: 
  • Co-operatives have largely been state promoted, with a focus on welfare rather than to do business on commercial lines and more State government intervention in the management of Co-operatives.

  • Whereas Companies Act is central legislation comparatively more liberal and minimal government control in the management of the Company.

  • A Producer Company is hybrid of Company and Co-operative Society.

  • It combines the goodness of a co-operative enterprise and vibrancy and efficiency of a company and accommodates the unique elements of cooperative business with a regulatory framework similar to that of a company.

This results in to lower economies of scale. A Producer Company is aimed at organizing a group of marginal farmers and ensuring larger economies of scale.

Advantages of Producer Company Registration

Why Choosing a Producer Company is the Right Move

A Producer Company enjoys the status of a legal entity and juristic person under the Act, allowing it to own property, incur debts, and operate with extensive legal capacity. The Directors (members) are not personally liable for the company's creditors, safeguarding their personal assets.

Producer Companies with an annual turnover of up to ₹100 crores enjoy 100% tax exemption. This substantial benefit allows such companies to retain profits without worrying about income tax, fostering financial growth and stability.

Members of a Producer Company benefit from limited liability, meaning their personal assets remain protected during financial distress. The liability is restricted to their contributions, securing their financial independence.

Producer Companies can access timely financial support. NABARD offers short-term loans (up to six months) for agricultural activities. This ensures farmers can meet their financial needs effortlessly, encouraging sustainable farming practices.

Shares in a Producer Company can be easily transferred, making it convenient to alter ownership or manage the board of management. This flexibility ensures smooth transitions by simply updating the Registrar of Companies (ROC).

Producer Companies have perpetual succession, meaning they exist independently of changes in membership. The company continues uninterrupted, unaffected by the death or departure of any member, ensuring stability and continuity.
