The Indian economy is an agricultural centric economy. Agriculture in India is livelihood for a majority of the population as it employs more than 50% of the Indian workforce. But the sad part is producers and farmers are deprived in the agricultural process. They don’t have access to technology, knowledge and funds. To address this issue, the concept of Producer Company was introduced in 2002, to help improve the lives of farmers and producers.
