Angarmala Shetkari Producer Companylimited

Angarmala Shetkari Producer Companylimited is over in Islampur, in the Walwa taluka of Sangli. You can find us at the spot belonging to Vilas Baburao Patil. It’s a local operation, nothing too big or flashy. Most of us have been farming in this part of Sangli for our whole lives, and we decided it was better to work as one group rather than everyone going their own way. Farming here can be tough, especially when you have to figure out the transport and the buyers all by yourself. We just sit around and discuss what crops are doing well and how we can help each other out with the costs of seeds and fertilizer. It’s not like we have some corporate office with people in suits. We are usually in our work clothes, coming straight from the fields to talk about the company business. There is a lot of paperwork that comes with being a producer company, but we are learning as we go. Some of the older guys were a bit unsure at first about joining a company, but now they see it helps to have a common name. We focus on the things that actually matter to a farmer, like getting good seeds and not getting cheated at the market. It is a slow process, but we are sticking with it because it’s important. We just want to keep things going for the next generation of farmers in the Walwa area.
