Gadekar Agritech Farmer Producer Company

We are based out of Bhaurao Pandurang's place in Umri. Most people around here know us because we've been working the land in Jalna for a long time. It started with a few of us wanting to figure out how to get better yields and maybe share some equipment. Farming isn't easy, especially with the weather being what it is lately. We spend most of our days out in the fields or meeting at the house to talk about seeds and prices. It’s a group effort really. Nobody here is wearing a suit. We are just a bunch of farmers trying to make things work for our families. The office is basically just a room in the village where we keep our papers. We don't have a big fancy sign or anything. If you come by Umri, you'll see us out there. We focus on what grows best in this soil. It's dusty work but someone has to do it. We help each other out with the harvest and try to find fair prices at the market. It’s been a learning process for all of us. We aren't experts in business, but we know the ground here in the Jalna district. That’s pretty much the whole story of how we got started and why we keep going every day. We don't really have a regular 9 to 5 schedule because the farm doesn't work that way. If something needs doing at dawn, that's when we start. We hope to keep this going for the next generation too.
