Khalifa Agriculture Producer Company Limited

You can find us in Katejawalga, which is part of the Nilanga taluka in Latur district. Khalifa Agriculture is a small collective of farmers who wanted to do something together instead of struggling individually against the market. Latur is a tough place for farming because the weather can be really unpredictable. We’ve all had years where we barely broke even, and it gets exhausting after a while. By forming this company, we’re trying to share the load. Our base is right here in the village. We don't have an office with air conditioning or anything like that. It’s mostly just a spot where we can store some supplies and meet to discuss the next harvest cycle. We focus on the staple crops of the region. It’s not just about the money; it’s about making sure our village stays viable for our kids. We’ve all grown up here, and we want to see Katejawalga do well. We aren't experts in business, but we know the land better than anyone else. We’ve learned how to deal with the paperwork and the bank stuff by trial and error. It’s a lot of work on top of the actual farming, but it feels worth it when we see a group of us getting a slightly better deal together. We don't use any fancy language. We’re just plain-speaking people trying to make a living from the earth.
