Rythu Kalpa Producer Company Limited

We are out in Venkatakanda Puram, at Sy.No.146/1, which is part of the Gudipadu Revenue Village. It is in Papully Mandal, deep in Kurnool district. It gets incredibly hot here in the summer, but we are all used to that by now. Rythu Kalpa Producer Company Limited is just a group of local farmers who decided to work together. We deal with whatever the land provides, like onions, chillies, or cotton, depending on how the monsoon turns out. The office is not a fancy corporate building; it is more like a sturdy storage shed where we all meet to talk about crop prices and seeds. It is right in the middle of the fields, so you have to drive down some dirt tracks to get to us. We do not have air conditioning or nice furniture. Usually, it is just some wooden chairs and a big table where we try to figure out the logistics for the next harvest. When the power goes out, which happens a lot, we just sit outside in the shade. It is a very local way of doing things. We know every farmer in the village, and they know to come here when they have their crops ready for market. It is not a complicated business. We just try to get a better price for the guys who are doing the hard work in the dirt. You just ask anyone in Papully for the way to Venkatakanda Puram and they will point you to our spot.
