Producer Company — Glossary

◈Definition

A Producer Company is a specialised company form for primary producers — farmers, horticulturists, forestry workers — providing limited liability and corporate governance while preserving cooperative principles. It was introduced under the Companies Act 1956 and continues under the 2013 Act. Producer Companies are relatively rare on the MCA register but play an important role in agricultural aggregation and rural enterprise.
