What Is a Producer Company?
A producer company is a special type of company formed by primary producers – such as farmers, dairy producers, fishermen or artisans – to collectively produce, process, market and sell their produce.
It combines the democratic spirit of a cooperative with the professional management of a company, and is often the preferred structure for Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs).
