Raithu Sadhikarata Producer Company Limited

In the village of Ankoli, you will find us at H. No. 2-93. This company is just a group of us farmers trying to manage our crops better. It’s a simple setup in a regular house. We don’t have a big sign or a fancy lobby. We mostly sit around and discuss which seeds are working and how the prices are looking. Farming in Ankoli can be tough depending on the rain, so we try to support each other. We handle all the records and the boring government paperwork ourselves right here at the house. It is often a bit messy with papers and samples of grain lying around. We aren't business experts; we are just people who know the soil and the seasons. Sometimes we spend the whole afternoon just talking about the water levels or the pests. We don’t have a website or a marketing department. If people want to talk to us, they just come to the door. We’ve lived here our whole lives and we care about this land. It’s not always easy to make ends meet, but working as a group makes it a bit more manageable. We just focus on the daily chores and getting the crops to the market. It’s a basic life and we don’t try to make it sound like something it isn’t. We just do the work.
