Uttareshwar Agro Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our small office is at House Number 37 in Pangra Sati, which is near Basmath. Uttareshwar Agro Farmer Producer Company Limited is just a bunch of local farmers who decided to pool our resources. Basmath is a good area for farming, but it still has its challenges. We deal with pests, weird weather, and prices that change every day. We registered the company because we were tired of being at the mercy of the big buyers. Now, we try to coordinate what we grow and how we sell it. It’s a lot of work on top of the actual farming, and sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day. We meet at the house in Pangra Sati to go over the numbers. It is not a professional setup, just some ledgers and a lot of discussion. We all have different ideas sometimes, but we are all working towards the same thing, which is just making a living. It is a tough life, being out in the fields all day, but it is what we know. We are just regular people from the village trying to look out for each other. Some years the turmeric or soy does well, and some years it doesn't, but having the company makes it feel a bit less lonely when things go wrong.
