Negilodeya Groundnut Farmers Producer Company Limited

Negilodeya Groundnut Farmers Producer Company Limited is right in the heart of the action in Kustagi. We chose Ward No.23 because it’s so close to the APMC market. That makes it easier for us to haul the groundnuts over when it is time to sell. Sharangouda Halegoudra is the one who keeps everything running from his place. He is a farmer himself, so he knows the struggles we face. We focus on groundnuts because that is what the land here is good for. It is a lot of work to get them out of the ground and cleaned up. Our group helps with the logistics of that. We don't have any polished managers in suits. It’s just us in our work clothes. Sometimes we sit on the floor and talk about the prices of seeds or the lack of rain. It is a real community effort. Negilodeya Groundnut Farmers Producer Company Limited belongs to all of us who work the land. We keep our paperwork simple and try to avoid any big corporate mess. If you are looking for us, just head toward the market area in Kustagi. Anyone near the APMC can point you to Ward No.23. We are usually around, especially when the trucks are coming in with the harvest. It is a busy life but we wouldn't have it any other way. We handle the sorting and the bags right here. Groundnuts are what we know best, and we do it together as a team.
