Swagati Farmers Producer Company Limited

Swagati Farmers Producer Company Limited is based out of Kaulgaon Wadi, which is a small area in Purna, over in Parbhani. It’s a very rural spot, so most of what we do revolves around what is happening in the fields around us. We are just a group of local people who decided to register this company to see if we could get a better handle on our farming business. It’s not a big fancy operation. We mostly meet up and talk about what crops we should be planting or where we can sell our produce without getting cheated. Parbhani can be a hard place to farm sometimes because the water isn't always reliable. We spend a lot of time just chatting with the other farmers who live nearby. It’s more of a community thing than a strictly business one, I suppose. The office is simple and stays pretty dusty because of the roads out here. We don't have any big marketing plans or anything like that. We just want to make sure the work we do in the sun all day actually pays off. Sometimes we help each other out with equipment or share information about the latest government schemes that might help us out. It's a lot of trial and error. We are just trying to keep things moving forward for the families here in the Wadi and the surrounding villages in Purna.
