Kembavi Farmers Producer Company Limited

This group started up in Kembavi near the Sanjiv Magar area. If you know Shorapur, you know it can get pretty hot and the ground is tough. We are Kembavi Farmers Producer Company Limited and mostly we are just a bunch of neighbors from Yadgir who decided to work as one. It is easier to get things done when there are more of us involved. Usually, a single farmer has a hard time getting a truck or finding a buyer who won't lowball the price. We put this office at 20-60-19/1 so we have a central spot to meet. We aren't experts in business talk or anything like that. We just know how to grow things and how to fix a tractor when it breaks down. Some days are slow and we just sit and drink tea while looking at the ledger. Other days are frantic when harvest time comes around. We try to help each other with tools and advice about which fertilizer is working better lately. It is a simple life here in Karnataka. We don't have a big shiny building. It is just a door near the main road where you can find us most mornings before the sun gets too high. We deal with the crops that grow well in this red soil. It is just about keeping the farm going for another year and making sure our kids have a reason to stay.
