Jattingeshwara Farmers Producer Company Limited

Jattingeshwara Farmers Producer Company Limited is based out of Gundalagera, specifically at No-30, which is the Chikkameti House. We are right near the Sarkariprouda School, so it's easy to find us if you're in the neighborhood. We are a group of farmers who decided it was about time we worked together instead of trying to survive on our own. There are a lot of challenges when you're farming in this part of the country, and having a company like this helps us share the load. We aren't experts in marketing or anything like that. We are experts in our own fields and crops. The house where we meet is usually full of talk about the cost of fertilizer or how the monsoon is looking this year. It’s a very practical operation. We use the space at Chikkameti House to organize our supplies and keep our records in some kind of order. Sometimes it gets a little loud when everyone is there at once, but it's good to have that energy and support. We want the farmers around Gundalagera to feel like they have a place to go where people actually understand their problems. We don't have a corporate board or anything fancy, just a few of us trying to make things work better for everyone involved. It’s a slow process, but we are making progress every year by just being consistent and honest about what we can do for each other.
