Amay Farmer Producer Company Limited

Amay Farmer Producer Company Limited operates out of House No 77 in Ghatnandra. It’s Bapurao Trambak Bhusari’s place, and it sits right near the local Anganwadi, so most people in the village walk past us every day. We are all local folks who have lived in Ghatnandra our whole lives. Farming is pretty much all we know, and there isn't much else to do around here anyway. We thought that by forming this company, we could get a better handle on the costs of running our farms. It’s been a bit of a learning process for all of us. We don't have any big-city managers or experts telling us what to do. It’s just a group of neighbors sitting around a table. Some days we are out checking the fields, and other days we are stuck inside trying to fix a piece of machinery or looking over our simple ledgers. Being so close to the Anganwadi means we hear all the village news, which keeps things interesting. The soil in this area is okay if you know how to work it, and we share what we’ve learned over the years. It’s a small operation with no frills. We just want to make sure the vegetables and grain we grow get to the market without too much trouble. Sometimes the roads are a mess, but we find a way to get things moving eventually.
