Yazali Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our office is tucked away in Patel Nagar over in Bapatla. We are in the Gayatri Avenue Apartment, flat number 504 on the second line. It's a quiet enough spot compared to the main market area. Yazali Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically a group of us coming together to manage our farming business better. We aren't a big corporation with people in suits; we are just people from the Guntur region who know about soil and seeds. Living and working in the 522101 area means we see the same faces every day. We spend our time figuring out where to sell the harvest or how to get a better price for everyone in the group. The apartment office is where we keep all the registers and have our meetings. Sometimes these meetings go on for hours because everyone has a different opinion on when to sell or what to plant next season. It’s just how things go when you have a lot of farmers involved. We do our best to keep things moving forward even when the weather is bad. The walk up to the fifth floor is okay because there’s a lift, but sometimes it’s out of order. We handle the paperwork, talk to the buyers, and try to make sure the local farmers get a fair deal for their hard work. It’s plenty of work but it feels right to do it ourselves instead of letting others decide for us.
