Venkepally-Saidapur Women Farmers Producer Company Limited

Venkepally is where we set up shop, specifically at H.No. 3-75/64/2/A. We share the space with the Santhoshimatha Mandala Samakhya, which helps keep things organized. The Venkepally-Saidapur Women Farmers Producer Company Limited is really just a group of us trying to work the land better. It isn't a high-tech operation. We have some desks, some chairs, and a lot of registers filled with notes about seeds and harvests. The work can be tiring because there is always something to do, whether it’s checking on the fields or sorting out the accounts. We get a lot of dust in the office during the dry season, but we just sweep it out and keep going. Most of the women here have been farming their whole lives, so we know the struggles of the weather and the soil. Having this central spot in Venkepally gives us a place to meet and talk about prices or new ways to grow things. It is a very local affair. We don’t have a big marketing department or anything. It’s just us, the farmers, sitting together and trying to figure things out for the next season. The building might look plain from the outside, but there is a lot of activity happening inside most days. We just want to keep our farms running and support our families the best way we can through hard work and cooperation.
