    Over 85% of the Farmers in India are small and marginal farmers with landholdings of less than 2 hectares. This fragmentation in farmers and farmlands leads to disorganization and it is not viable for Indian farmers to adopt the latest technologies.

Thus the concept of Producer Company Registration is aimed at empowering farmers by creating clusters of farmers organized as a Producer Company.
