it is a price taker because under perfect competition,price is determined by the market(through price mechanism:demand and supply) and not producer.this is because there are so many producers of the same product and all have the perfect knowledge of the market and there is only one buyer of that product,so no body can decide the price of the commodity on behalf of others.thats why a firm under perfect competition is a price taker and not a price maker. As part of the industry, the firm has to simply charge price determined by the industry. If the firm charges more price, it will lose sales and if it charges less price it will incur losses. The typical example of perfect competition is agriculture. The products are indistinguishable. There are many potential suppliers. This makes the farmer a price taker; if he or she prices the product higher than the market price, he or she will not make any sales or make fewer sales, thus incurring loss. Thus the farmer has to go with the price determined by the industry in order to survive
