Ketki Sangmeshwar Farmer Producercompany Limited

If you go down to Adat Line in Degloor, you’ll find us tucked away near where all the market action happens. Ketki Sangmeshwar Farmer Producercompany Limited is basically just a group of local farmers who decided that doing things alone wasn't working out so well anymore. We use Shankar Madhavrao’s place as our home base because it’s central and everyone knows where it is. Being in the Nanded district, specifically here in Degloor, means we are always dealing with the ups and downs of the local market. Some mornings it’s really loud and busy with trucks and people shouting prices, and other times it’s just us sitting around drinking tea and worrying about the rain. We don't have a big marketing team or a bunch of people in suits. It’s just us, the people who actually get our hands dirty in the dirt. We figured if we pooled our resources, we might actually have a chance to get better supplies and maybe find better buyers for our produce. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, honestly. None of us were trained to run a company, so we make mistakes and we learn as we go. But we’ve lived here our whole lives, and we care about this land. We just want to keep things going for the next generation without losing our shirts in the process. It’s practical work for practical people, and that’s really all there is to it.
