Dummawad Horticulture Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our small office is located at 132, right near the bus stand in G. Basavana. If you’ve ever been to Kalaghatagi in the Dharwad district, you know it’s a busy little area with people always coming and going from the buses. We are right in the thick of it. Being a farmers producer company means we spend a lot of our time dealing with the actual people who grow things in the ground around here. It isn't a fancy corporate job. We have some old chairs and a lot of papers scattered around the room. Most of the folks involved are from the local villages, so there is always someone walking in with mud on their boots to talk about their crops. We don’t have a big marketing team or anything like that. It’s just us trying to figure out the best way to move the horticulture produce from the farms to where it needs to go. The noise from the bus stand is always there in the background, which reminds us how connected we are to the rest of the town. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the price of goods and the state of the roads. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just sit and talk until it comes back. It’s a very local operation, run by people who live right here in the taluk and know every corner of the district. It’s just us doing our thing.
