Pandurangkrupa Krushivikas Farmersproducer Company Limited

If you go to Bibkheda in the Kannad taluka, you’ll find us at Shri Kale Appasaheb Ramji’s place. That’s where Pandurangkrupa Krushivikas Farmersproducer Company Limited is based. It’s a long name, I know. We mostly just call ourselves the group from Bibkheda. Aurangabad is a big district, and being out here in 431001 means we’re tucked away a bit. We started this because farming alone is getting tougher every year. By coming together as a producer company, we can share the load. It’s not a fancy setup. We sit around the porch and discuss prices and seeds. Sometimes the rains are late, and everyone gets a bit worried, but that’s just how life is here. We handle everything from the care of the crops to the final sales. Appasaheb’s place is the hub for all the local farmers who joined up with us. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to make sure our families are okay and the krushivikas—the farm development—actually happens for once. It’s practical work. No one here is wearing a suit. We’re usually in the fields until it gets dark, then we come back to the village to sort out the day's business. It’s just honest work in a small corner of Aurangabad where we all grew up and stayed to work the land. We keep things simple because that's what works for us.
