Ketakisangam Agro Producer Company Limited

Down in the Latur district, in the Ausa subdivision, you can find us in the village of Hasegaon. Ketakisangam is a producer company we put together to help the farmers in this specific part of the region. It’s a quiet place, mostly just fields and small houses. We don’t have a big, fancy headquarters with a sign on the roof. We run everything out of a small office right here in the village. Latur is a place that has seen its fair share of water troubles, so we know how hard it can be to keep a farm going. We decided that by joining together, we could handle things like buying supplies or selling our produce much better than we could alone. Our office is just a room where we keep our books and have our meetings. It’s not much to look at, but it’s where the important decisions are made. We aren't experts at marketing or writing business plans. We are just local people who know about the soil and the seasons. Some days we just sit and talk about the current market rates for hours. It’s a big job to manage a company like this, but it’s worth it for the community. We’ve seen good years and bad ones, and being part of this group makes the tough times a bit easier to handle.
