Kutch Kalpataru Producer Company Limited

If you look for Kutch Kalpataru Producer Company Limited, you’ll find us over at Palubhai Harji Gilva’s place in Sonal Nagar. We are in the village of Moti Bhujpur, which is part of the Kutch district. Kutch is a tough place to farm because it’s so dry and the sun is really something else. We formed this company to help all the local farmers here handle the business side of things. It’s hard enough growing anything in this soil without having to worry about all the middle-men and the paperwork. We use Palubhai’s place as our main point of contact. It’s where we gather to talk about what we’re going to plant and how we’re going to sell it. We don’t have any fancy suits or corporate talk here. We’re just people who have lived in Moti Bhujpur for a long time and know the struggles of the land. Sometimes the crops don't do as well as we hoped, and those are the months when we really have to stick together. We do our best to keep the costs down and make sure the farmers actually see some profit for their labor. It’s a slow process and there are no guarantees, but we keep at it because it’s our way of life. We are just trying to build something that lasts for our families and the village without making things overly complicated or expensive.
