Why producers are price takers and not price makers?

Producers are not strictly price-takers. Generally, the more competitive a market is, the less pricing power a firm has, and the more of a price-taker it is than a price-maker. Since basic economic analysis usually focuses on a perfectly competitive market, a producer is a price-taker because it cannot change its price from the equilibrium condition Price = Marginal Cost = Marginal Revenue because it will be undersold by its competitors if it raises it price.
