Swavlambi Farmers Producer Companylimited

Swavlambi Farmers Producer Companylimited is based at House Number 534 in Khutbav, which is in the Daund area of Pune. We are a small group of local farmers who decided to team up. The name means self-reliant, and that is really what we are trying to be. We don't want to rely on middle-men for everything. Living and working in Khutbav means we know the land here really well. We handle everything from getting seeds to figuring out how to get our produce to the city. The office is just a room in a house where we keep a computer and some files. It’s usually a bit messy because we are always coming in and out from the fields with muddy boots. We don't have a receptionist or anything. If you knock on the door, one of us will eventually come out to see what you need. It’s a lot of work balancing the farming with the business side of things. Sometimes we make mistakes with the forms or forget to file something on time, but we learn as we go. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big words. We just want to make sure the farmers here get a fair deal for the stuff they grow. It’s a community effort and we all pitch in however we can.
