Uthalpeth Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find Uthalpeth Farmers Producer Company Limited over at 2, Marutinandan Bunglows. We’re right by the K.K. Nagar Cross Road in Ghatlodia. It’s a pretty busy part of Ahmedabad, but once you step inside, it’s all about the crops. We aren't some big corporate office with a bunch of floors. It’s more like a home that we’ve turned into a workspace. There’s usually a stack of grain samples on one desk and a mountain of invoices on the other. We started this because the local farmers needed a way to pool their resources. It’s been a learning curve for all of us. None of us were born knowing how to run a producer company. We just figured it out as we went along. Some days are stressful when the market isn't doing what we hoped, but we stick together. The office is a bit lived-in, with scuff marks on the walls and a kettle that’s always on. We don't use marketing tricks or fancy slogans. We just talk about the yield and the quality of the produce. It’s a straightforward business for straightforward people. If you come by, you might have to move a box to find a place to sit. That’s just how we operate. We’re just trying to keep the wheels turning for everyone involved in the group and make sure things run right.
