Bhimavalley Farmers Producer Company Limited

If you head over to Pimpari (Bk) in the Indapur Taluka of Pune, you'll find us at House Number 196. That is where Bhimavalley Farmers Producer Company Limited is officially set up. We are right in the heart of the valley area, which is where the name comes from. It's a very local operation. We don't have a big staff of city people; it is just the farmers from the village and the surrounding area. The house is where we do all the administrative stuff, which usually involves a lot of tea and long discussions about the crops. Indapur is a bit far from the main Pune city, which suits us just fine because we need to be near the fields. We started this because we wanted to have more control over how our produce is sold. We don't use any fancy marketing terms because that's not how we talk to each other. We just say things as they are. Sometimes the paperwork gets a bit much, but we help each other out. Our address is 413106 and we've been working from here for a good while. It's a modest setup but it works for us. We handle the daily tasks ourselves, from checking the quality of the harvest to making sure the accounts are right at the end of the month.
