Kadumama Krishi Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is called Kadumama Krishi Farmer Producer Company Limited. You can find us at Narayan Sitaram Kadu’s place in Deolali Pravara, which is in the Rahuri taluka of Ahmednagar. The name of the company comes from the local family roots here. We aren't some big city corporation. We are just a bunch of guys who know the soil of Ahmednagar better than anything else. Most days, you’ll find us out in the dirt, checking on the crops or fixing some equipment that broke down again. We meet up at Narayan’s house to settle the accounts and talk about what we should plant next. It’s a very informal way of doing business, but it works for us. We decided to form this producer company because it was getting harder to do everything alone. Now we can talk to the buyers as a group, which makes things a little bit easier for everyone involved. The area around Rahuri is good for farming, but it takes a lot of sweat to make anything grow. We don't have any fancy brochures or a marketing team. It’s just us, the land, and the crops we produce. Sometimes we sit late into the evening just discussing the water levels or the price of electricity. It’s not a glamorous life, but it is our life, and we are proud of the work we do here in Deolali Pravara.
