Saidarshan Growingfarm Producer Company Limited

Saidarshan Growingfarm is located right at the Thengoda APMC Market in Baglan, Nashik. Being at the market makes things a lot easier for us because that’s where all the action is anyway. We have a spot at 264/1 where we keep our office. Since we are in the Nashik region, we deal with a lot of onions and grapes, which are the main things grown around here. It’s a fast-paced environment at the market, especially during peak season. We’re basically just a group of farmers who wanted to have more control over how our produce is handled once it leaves the farm. Instead of everyone doing their own thing, we work together from the Thengode site. It’s a noisy, dusty place sometimes, but it’s where the work gets done. We aren't sitting in air-conditioned offices; we’re out there on the floor or talking to drivers. People know us as the local guys who are just trying to get a fair deal. We’ve had to learn a lot about the business side of things, which was a bit of a struggle at first. There’s a lot of competition in Baglan, so staying organized is the only way to keep up. We don't have any big secrets or fancy technology, just a lot of hard work and some shared equipment. It’s a basic operation that serves the people in our village and the surrounding farms. We just try to keep moving forward despite the ups and downs of the market.
