Kisanbhavan Agro Shetkari Producer Company Limited

Our place is at number 180 in Bhawan, right near the Kachol Nala in Sillod. If you know the area, you know the nala is a landmark for us. Kisanbhavan Agro is just a name we use to work together as farmers from this part of Aurangabad. We spend most of our time out in the dirt, dealing with whatever the sky sends us. Whether it is cotton or maize, we try to get the best out of our small plots of land. Being near Sillod means we have a decent market nearby, but it is still a struggle to get things right. We started this group because we wanted to have more say in how our produce is handled. It is much better than just one person trying to talk to the big buyers. We meet up at the building in Bhawan and share what we have learned about the soil or some new way to plant. It’s not like a corporate meeting you see in the city. There’s usually someone drinking tea and someone else talking about their broken pump. We are just plain people who work hard. We don’t have any fancy promises to make. We just do the work, look after our animals, and try to make sure the harvest is enough to pay the bills. That is the reality of life here and we are okay with it.
