First Agro Tech Produce Pvt. Ltd.

Out here at Survey No. 352/2 in T. Bettahalli Village, things move a bit slower than in the city. First Agro Tech Produce is located in Talkad Hobli, and if you haven't been to T. Narsipur Taluk, it’s mostly fields and open sky. We spend a lot of time outdoors looking at crops and checking the soil. The office is really just a place to keep the paperwork dry. Most of the real work happens on the land. We’ve got a few sheds for the equipment and the produce we harvest. It gets dusty in the summer and very muddy when the rains come, but that’s just part of being in agriculture. We know the neighbors, mostly other farmers who are doing the same thing we are. We grow things, we pack them, and we send them out. It’s not a glamorous life, but it feels right to be working with the earth. Sometimes the harvest is good, sometimes it’s a struggle with the weather. We don't have any big corporate slogans. We just try to make sure the plants are healthy and the water is running where it should. People in the village stop by to chat or ask for advice on their own plots. It’s a quiet life for the most part, away from the noise of the big roads. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else, really.
