Tharad Taluka Vibhag Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our office is in Kamali, which is a little place in Tharad, up in the Banaskantha district. We are at number 155, in that new P2 block near the GP area. Banaskantha can be a really tough place to live and work because the ground is often dry and the sun is very strong. But the people here have a lot of grit. We are a group of farmers from the Tharad taluka who decided to join up to help each other out. It wasn't about making a big name for ourselves, it was just a practical thing to do. Our office is very basic, just a few chairs and a table where we sit and go over the numbers. There is absolutely no corporate feel to our place. Most of the time, our boots and clothes have a bit of dust on them from being out in the fields. We talk about the water levels, the seeds, and the market prices more than anything else. It might be a bit out of the way for people from the city, but it’s the right spot for us. We don't have a PR person to make us look good. We are just a bunch of villagers trying to make the farming business work a little more smoothly. It’s a lot of manual work and checking on the crops every single day, but that’s just how we live. We just keep our heads down and do the work.
