Gurukrupa Shetkari Farmers Producer Company Limited

You’ll find Gurukrupa Shetkari Farmers Producer Company Limited in Palkhed. We work out of house number 154, which is where Sunil Gorakhnath Wani lives. Vaijapur taluka is a place where you really have to know the soil to get anything to grow. We are just a group of guys from around here who decided to form a producer company. It isn't a big operation with a lobby or a secretary. It’s just us sitting in the front room talking about the price of cotton or whatever else we are growing. Sunil keeps the books for us, which is a lot of work given all the rules these days. Aurangabad district gets very hot, so we usually do our meetings early or late in the day. We don't have any fancy brochures to hand out. We just know our neighbors and work with them. The name Gurukrupa is something we chose because we feel lucky to be doing this together. It’s better than trying to sell your harvest all by yourself. Sometimes the paperwork feels like too much, but it helps us get better deals on seeds and stuff. We aren't trying to look like a big city business. We are just practical people doing what needs to be done. If you come to Palkhed and ask for House 154, someone will point the way. It’s a real, local effort.
