Producer Company Registration
A corporate form built for farmers and primary producers.
A producer company is a hybrid created for primary producers: it has the legal form and limited liability of a company, but membership is restricted to producers and voting is broadly one member one vote rather than by shareholding.
It needs at least ten individual producers, or two producer institutions, or a combination. Its objects are confined to activities connected with primary produce — procurement, harvesting, pooling, processing, marketing, and the supply of inputs to members.
It is the standard vehicle for a Farmer Producer Organisation, and it is what most FPO grant and equity schemes require the applicant to be.
What is included
- Eligibility of the producer members assessed
- Name reservation and SPICe+ incorporation
- DSC and DIN for the directors
- MOA and AOA drafted for producer objects
What we need from you
- PAN and Aadhaar of every producer member and director
- Evidence of primary producer status — land records or equivalent
- Registered office proof and no-objection letter
- Details of the proposed activity
Questions
Who can be a member of a producer company?
Only primary producers — those engaged in agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry, forestry, handloom, handicraft or similar activity — or producer institutions. It cannot take outside investor members, which is the main constraint of the form.
