Swami Gajanan Agro Producer Company Limited

Our group, Swami Gajanan Agro Producer Company Limited, operates out of Jagannath Kashinath Salunke’s place in Thatewada. Nandgaon is our home and we’ve been part of this community for a long time. It’s not some big corporate setup. We are just a few people trying to make a go of it with the land we have. The office is really just a room where we keep our papers and meet up to discuss what to plant or how the market is looking. Being in Nashik district means we see a lot of different crops, but the struggle is usually the same for everyone. We deal with the rain when it comes and the dust when it doesn't. Our address is easy to find if you know the local landmarks in Nandgaon. We don't spend money on fancy signs or advertising because everyone around here knows us anyway. We spend our days looking at the crops and trying to figure out the best way to move forward without losing too much. It’s a lot of sitting around the table and drinking tea while we talk about fertilizers or the price of grain. It isn’t always easy working together but it is better than being alone. We just do our best with what the season gives us. Sometimes we’re busy from morning till night and other days we’re just waiting for the right time to harvest. It’s a simple life and we keep it that way.
