Swasakthi Horticulture Farmers Producer Company Limited

Swasakthi Horticulture Farmers Producer Company Limited is over at 3-96 in Mallavalli. We are right in Bapulapadu Mandal. Our group is made up of local people who have always farmed these lands. We aren't some big city business that moved in. We are from right here. We started this producer company because we wanted to have a bit more control over our work. Horticulture is a lot of work and it requires a lot of looking after. You can't just plant something and walk away. You have to be there every day. We don't have a big marketing budget or anything like that. Our office is just a small room where we keep our books. We spend most of our time out in the heat. It’s a tough job but it’s what we know. We grow things like fruits and flowers, whatever the market needs. Sometimes the season is short and we have to work very fast. We help each other out with the heavy lifting. It’s a community effort more than anything else. Mallavalli is a quiet place, but we keep it moving with our work. We aren't trying to change how farming is done. We are just trying to make it work for us and our families. It’s honest, simple work and we take it one day at a time. Most of our families have been here for generations, so we care about the land. We want to see it stay productive.
