Khadpipli Agro Producer Company Limited

This company is based right in the middle of Khadpipli village over in Mendarda. If you ask for Ramesh Gokal Bhadja, people will point you the right way. We are a group of farmers who decided it was better to work as one company instead of everyone doing their own thing separately. It makes sense for us since we are all in the same area anyway. Junagadh is good for this kind of work, though the rains can be unpredictable some years. Our office isn't much to look at, it’s just a place where we meet up to discuss the seeds or the harvest. Most of us have been farming since we were kids. We know the soil here. We spend a lot of time walking the fields and then coming back to the village to sort out the business side. It is hard work and the days are long, especially when it is time to sell the produce. We don’t use big words or have fancy meetings. We just sit together and talk about what needs to happen next. Sometimes the plans change because of the market or the weather, and we just deal with it. It is just a local business for local people. That is really all there is to it. We keep things simple and try to stay honest about what we can do.
