Astaa Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find us at 415 K.G. Road, in Kalas BK, Akole. We’ve been operating from this spot for a while now. It’s a farmer producer company that came together because we realized that doing things alone wasn’t working out as well as it used to in the past. Akole is a place where farming is the main thing people do, so it made sense to have a group to handle the bulk stuff. Our office on K.G. Road is pretty simple, just a place to sit and talk through the season’s plans. We don’t have a lot of fancy equipment or a lobby with a receptionist. Usually, it’s just one of us sitting there with a notebook and a phone. We focus on the crops that grow best in this soil around Kalas BK. There is always a lot to do, from figuring out who needs what supplies to getting the transport sorted for harvest time. We try to keep everything straightforward. If there’s a problem, we talk it out and try to find a solution that works for the most of us. It’s not always perfect, and sometimes we run into delays with the paperwork, but that’s just life in the village. We aren't trying to be a big corporation; we just want to look after our interests and keep our farming tradition going in this area. It's hard work but someone has to do it.
