Rolugunta Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited

Out here in Sarbhavaram, things are a bit quieter than in the main city of Visakhapatnam. Rolugunta Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically a bunch of us from the nearby fields. We got together because it’s better than trying to do everything on your own. Our place is tucked away near Rolugunta, and you can see the hills from the doorway on a clear day. It’s a lot of mud on our boots most days during the monsoon. We spend a lot of time talking to the other farmers about what’s growing and what’s not doing so well. It’s not a corporate office with air conditioning; it’s more of a place where we store things and sign papers. The roof makes a lot of noise when it rains, which it does quite a bit around Narsipatnam. We don’t have a big marketing team or anyone like that. It’s just us, some wooden tables, and a lot of talk about the weather and the prices. Sometimes we have a lot of crates stacked up outside waiting to go to the market. It’s a bit messy sometimes, honestly, but we are busy. We are just people from the village who know how to grow things. We work hard, we eat lunch together, and we try to make sure everyone gets through the season. It’s just life on the farm, really, nothing more complicated than that for us folks here in Sarbhavaram.
