Padegaon Abhinav Shashwat Farmers Producer Company Limited

Padegaon is where we call home. We’re located at Gat No-760 in Newase Vasti, which is part of the Phaltan area in Satara district. Padegaon Abhinav Shashwat Farmers Producer Company is a bit of a mouthful, so most people just call us the company at Gat 760. We’re just a bunch of local farmers who decided to team up. Satara has some decent land, but you have to work hard to get anything out of it. We spend our days dealing with the daily realities of farming, like the price of seeds or the cost of transport. Newase Vasti is a quiet spot, and our building is pretty basic. We have a few rooms for meetings and keeping our files. It gets a bit dusty when the wind blows across the fields, but that’s just part of it. We don't have a big staff. It's usually just a few of us handling the paperwork and talking to the suppliers. People from the nearby villages stop by quite often to see what the latest rates are or to just have a cup of tea and talk about the sugarcane. We aren't looking to become some massive corporation. We like being right here where the work happens. Life is simple but there is always something that needs doing. It’s not a glamorous job, but it’s honest work that keeps us connected to the ground and each other.
