Ardhapur Taluka Farmers Producer Company Limited

If you walk into Ward No 4 in Ardhapur, you’ll find us at the spot registered under Bhikaji Gunaji’s name. This is where Ardhapur Taluka Farmers Producer Company Limited operates from. It’s right in the middle of the district, and anyone around here can tell you that Ardhapur lives and breathes farming. We aren't some big corporation from a skyscraper. We are local people who grew up seeing the banana plantations and the cotton fields. The office is small and usually filled with the smell of the market nearby. We don't have a receptionist or fancy brochures to hand out. Instead, you'll find a couple of us sitting around a wooden table trying to sort out the logistics for the next batch of produce. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just keep talking in the dark until it comes back on. It’s just the way things are here in Nanded. We handle a lot of the back-and-forth between the farmers and the buyers. It’s not always easy and there are plenty of long days where nothing seems to go right. But we keep at it because this is our home. We don't try to sound like we know everything. We just learn as we go, making sure the folks in the taluka get a fair shake. It is honest work and we don't feel the need to dress it up for anybody. We just do our best with what we have.
