Mahesh Kalme Farmer Producer Company

We are located at House Number 160 in Sahirur, which is a small spot in the Tajbndtq area of Ahmadpur. Latur can be a tough place for farming sometimes because of the weather, but we’ve lived here all our lives. Mahesh Kalme started this producer company along with a group of us from the village. We didn’t want to keep doing things the old way where we had no control over the prices. So, we put our resources together. The office is just a simple room in the house. We have a few desks and some files stacked up in the corner. You might see some tractors parked outside or neighbors stopping by to chat about the rain. It’s a very local operation. We don’t have a marketing team or anyone to write fancy brochures. We just talk to the farmers and try to figure out the best way to move our crops. Most days, we are out in the fields rather than sitting behind a desk. It’s dusty work and the hours are long, especially during harvest time. But having this company gives us a bit of a voice. We’re just trying to make a living and help the other families in Sahirur do the same. It’s a plain, honest business. There isn’t much more to it than that. We just show up every morning and see what needs doing. It’s just how things are out here in our district.
