Shravya Farmer Producer Company Limited

Shravya Farmer Producer Company Limited is located right in Kalamnuri, at house number 171. This part of Hingoli is where we’ve all grown up and spent our lives working the dirt. It’s not an easy life, but it’s what we know. A bunch of us farmers decided it was time to register a company so we could buy things in bulk and maybe get a better deal. We aren't experts at business, we're experts at growing crops. You won't find any shiny suits or big desks at our place. It’s usually just a few of us sitting around on plastic chairs, discussing the last harvest and what to plant next. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to finish our meetings by candlelight. That’s just how it is here in Maharashtra. We named it Shravya because we liked the sound of it, and it feels like something that belongs to our community. Most people in the village know where we are if they need to talk about seeds or tools. We try to help each other out when the pests get bad or the market is down. It’s a slow process, building something like this from scratch, but we’re taking it one day at a time. We’re just local people trying to make a living from the land we’ve always known for generations now. It’s about sticking together and making things work even when the season is tough.
