Ambagad Farmer Producer Company Limited

Over in Bhandara, there’s a village called Ambagad in the Tumsar area. That’s where we are, specifically at house number 98, which belongs to Lata Kawale. Ambagad Farmer Producer Company Limited is basically a group of us from the neighborhood who decided to work together. Tumsar is known for its rice, and you can see the fields stretching out all around us. It’s a green, wet place during the monsoon, which is a nice change from the drier parts of Maharashtra. Our office is really just a room in the house where we gather to talk about seeds, fertilizers, and who is growing what this season. It’s very informal. You might find some sacks of grain in the corner or a few ledgers scattered on the table. We don’t have a fancy website or a marketing team. If you want to talk to us, you just come to the village and ask for the Kawale residence. We spend most of our time out in the fields or at the local market anyway. It’s a simple life, focused on the soil and the harvest. Sometimes the crops are great, sometimes the pests get them, but we just keep moving forward. Being a producer company means we're all in it together, trying to figure out how to manage things for our small village of Ambagad without losing our heads. There is always a lot of chatter and maybe some tea when the neighbors stop by.
