In that Our countries all markets will get open by 2017 including agriculture .as our average  land holding is not greater than 2.5acres our farmers will have to sell the land or make other utilization of it,but my personel thinking is that we all are united by the way of agriculture somehow.and we as a country can make it possible to save our farmers fro the world copition .i am not saying it in the way of negetivity but i want to make them compitative as any company .todays scenario is that most of the producer companies are in madhya pradesh more than 17 and increasing.i want to drive that thing in maharshtra and other states also.

Background

The concept of Producer Companies was introduced in 2002 by incorporating a new Part IXA (section 581A to 581ZT) into the Companies Act,1956("the Act") based on the recommendations of an expert committee led by an economist, Y. K. Alagh.

Aim of the Committee was to -

  • frame a legislation that would enable incorporation of cooperatives as companies and conversion of existing cooperatives into companies;
  • ensuring the unique elements of cooperative business with a regulatory framework similar to that of companies.

Meaning of Producer Company :

A producer company is basically a body corporate registered as Producer Company under

Companies Act, 1956 and shall carry on or relate to any of following activities classified broadly:-

selling, export of *primary produce of the Members or import of goods or services for their

benefit :

development and all other activities for the promotion of the interests of its Members;

(c) generation, transmission and distribution of power, revitalization of land and water resources,

their use, conservation and communications relatable to primary produce;

(d) promoting mutual assistance, welfare measures, financial services, insurance of producers or their primary produce;
