Bikli Farmer Producer Company Limited

Bikli is a quiet spot, and our little group here at Bikli Farmer Producer Company Limited operates mostly out of Shri Shankar L Kore’s place. It’s not your typical business office. We spend most of our time out in the fields or standing around in the yard at Nagbhid. Chandrapur can get incredibly hot, so we usually have our meetings under the shade of a tree or inside the house when the sun is too much. We started this because we wanted a way to manage our harvests better without having to travel too far. It’s mostly just us farmers from around Bikli getting together to figure out the logistics of seeds and fertilizers. There isn’t a fancy lobby or a secretary here. If you show up, you’ll probably find someone drinking tea or checking a stack of bags. The office is really just a room with some tables and a lot of notebooks where we keep track of everything. It’s a simple life, and we don’t try to make it sound like more than it is. We work hard, we deal with the weather, and we try to make sure everyone gets a fair shake. Shri Shankar’s house is easy to find if you’re in the village; just look for the place where the tractors are parked. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just our hands and our word.
