Producer company structure secures member-focused production, financing, limited capital returns and patronage-based surplus distribution. A Producer Company is a registered corporate entity formed by qualifying producers to carry out specified activities related to primary produce, including production, processing, marketing, supply of inputs, technical services, financing and ancillary functions. On registration it assumes private company status. Membership rules provide one-member one-vote where members are individuals. Members receive board-determined value for pooled produce, with withheld amounts payable in cash, kind or equity; share capital is equity only and members obtain a limited return, while surplus after limited return and reserves may be distributed as patronage bonus in proportion to participation.
