Gajanansai Farmer Producer Companylimited

Gajanansai Farmer Producer Companylimited is run out of Dattarao Madhavrao Kale’s home in Sodegaon. You can find us there, not too far from the post office in Nandapur in Kalamnuri. We are a bunch of farmers who thought it was high time we started working as one unit. It’s better for everyone when we go to the market together. Dattarao lets us use his place for the meetings and for keeping the records. It’s a simple setup, just some chairs and a lot of talk about the weather and the crops. Sodegaon is a good place, but farming here has its own set of problems. Sometimes the soil isn't right or the prices at the market drop for no reason. We spend our days mostly in the fields, and then we gather at the house in the evenings to figure out the business side. It’s not like we have a big staff or anything. It’s just us doing the labor and the paperwork too. We handle everything from grains to whatever else our members are growing that season. Kalamnuri is where we go for most of our supplies. It’s a lot of riding around on motorbikes and checking on each other's plots. We aren't some big corporate firm from the city. We are just neighbors trying to help neighbors. It's a lot of long hours and dirty hands, but it’s what we know how to do.
