Gouravakashi Farmer Producer Company Limited

Gouravakashi Farmer Producer Company Limited is based over in Somaguddu. We are at No-130, which is right in the Somaguddu Post area of Challakere. It’s a local operation, mostly just a few of us trying to make sure the farmers in this part of the district get a fair shake. We aren't a big corporation with people in suits. We are just local folks. The office is a simple place where we keep our files and meet when there’s a problem to solve. Challakere can be dry and tough for farming but we manage. We spend our time looking at what the members need and trying to organize the transport and sales. It’s a lot of back and forth on the phone. Sometimes we have meetings at the post office area to discuss the new rules or how to get better supplies. It’s not always easy and there are plenty of long days. We didn't want anything too polished because that's not who we are. We just wanted a name and a place to work from. Being at Somaguddu helps because we are close to the people we work with. We talk about the rain, the soil, and the prices. That is what fills our days. No-130 is where the books are kept but the real work happens out there on the land. We just keep moving forward one day at a time, trying to keep things organized for the collective.
