milk producer
xxx is the leading French milk producer.
My advice would be to forget the literal 'collector' - it doesn't really exist in this context in English in my view. 'Producer' is what it means and is how it would be said in English.

Yes you can, just look up Webster - verb "gather" has many meanings;
1.to bring together
2.to collect
3.to assemble
4.to congregate
and about a dozen others
What I wanted to express was the use od specific verb in spoken language in USA
