Buldhana Agro Federation

Buldhana Agro Federation is located at House No. 326 in Bartala. We are near the Post Office in Chaigon, which is part of the Mehkar taluka in Buldhana. This federation was put together to help the various farming groups in our area work as one. It’s a lot of coordination work and we spend most of our time traveling between the different villages in Buldhana. We aren't a corporate entity with a lobby and receptionists. Our office is just a regular house where we keep our files and meet up for discussions. Farming in Mehkar has its ups and downs depending on the rain and the market prices. We try to provide a bit of stability for the members. It’s practical, everyday work like checking grain quality or organizing transport for the harvest. People in Bartala know us well. We don't have a big marketing budget or anything like that. We rely on word of mouth and the relationships we’ve built over the years. It’s an honest way to make a living and it keeps us busy year-round. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit messy, but we eventually get through it. We’re just local people trying to make the agro business work better for everyone in this part of the district. We stay focused on the tasks at hand and don't worry about being fancy. It is a slow process but we are getting there.
