Goutameshwar Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited

We run things out of house number 42 in Ajnefal. It’s Ravindra Pralhad Shelake’s home. This is in the Mehkar area of Buldhana district. We are a group of farmers who decided to pool our resources. Working alone in these fields can be tough, so we made this company. It's mostly about handling our produce together. You won’t see any big signs or glass buildings here. It is just a regular house in the village where we meet up. We talk about the crops, the water situation, and how to get a fair price for what we grow. Buldhana has its own challenges with the land, but we manage. Most of us have been farming since we were kids. This company is just a way to make the business side of it official. We handle a lot of the heavy lifting ourselves. On any given day, we might be out back or over at a neighbor's plot. The paperwork is mostly kept in a few folders at the house. We aren't trying to be the biggest, just trying to stay steady. It's honest work and it keeps us busy from sunrise to sundown. If you're looking for us, just head to Ajnefal and ask for the Shelake house. We’re usually around unless it’s harvest time and everyone is in the fields. It’s a simple life, but it’s what we know.
