Khanderai Farmers Producer Company Limited

Khanderai Farmers. It’s located at Uttam Malhari Kapare’s house, number 721/1. This is in Dhamari village, which is part of Taluka Shirur in the Pune district. We started this because the farmers in Dhamari needed a way to get their products out together. Uttam is a local man and his house is where we keep all the records and hold our meetings. Pune is a big district but out here in Shirur, it’s mostly fields and open space. We grow what we can and then we work together to find people to buy it. It’s not some big operation with a lobby and secretaries. It’s just us sitting in the house or the yard talking about the weather and the crops. Khanderai is a name we all respect, so it felt right for our company. We handle everything from seeds to the final produce. It’s a lot of manual labor and keeping track of who brought what. We aren't trying to be the biggest company, just a reliable one for the people in Dhamari. If you visit, you’ll see the house is always busy with someone coming or going. We try to keep it simple. There’s no need for complicated talk when you’re dealing with soil and rain. We just want to make sure the work we do in the sun all day pays off for the families here. It’s about being a part of this village and staying true to our roots and our community.
