Swaminathan Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our office for Swaminathan Farmers Producer Company Limited is at House No. 476 in Gore Vasti. This is part of the Sangamner taluka in Ahmednagar district. If you know the 422605 zip code area, you know it can get quite hot and dry out here. We are right in the middle of the local neighborhood where most families have been farming for generations. The house is a plain one, nothing that stands out from the other buildings on the street. We use it as our main base to gather and talk about what the crops need. There is always a bit of noise from the street and the sound of cows or goats nearby. We aren’t a big corporation with a tall building. It is just a room where we keep our files and meet up. Most of the time we are out on the land anyway. Sangamner is a busy place on market days and that is when we see most of the people we work with. We spend a lot of time just trying to keep track of everyone’s names and what they are growing this season. It is a lot of manual work and checking things twice. Sometimes the power goes out and we just sit outside and keep talking. It’s a practical way to run things. We don't see the need for a lot of extras when the main goal is just to help the local folks get their work done.
