Producer Company Registration
Empowering farmers and rural entrepreneurs with corporate identity and collective strength.
A Producer Company is a special type of company registered under the Companies Act, 2013, exclusively for producers such as farmers, artisans, and agriculturists. It enables rural producers to collectively operate as a corporate body, access better markets, and benefit from professional management.
Producer Companies can deal in production, harvesting, processing, procurement, grading, marketing, and sale of agricultural produce. They can also engage in import/export of goods, training, research, and services to benefit their members.
At Kanoons, we help empower rural and agri-based entrepreneurs by guiding them through the legal complexities of forming a Producer Company—from documentation to incorporation and post-compliance.
