Shrivatsa Krushivikas Producer Company Limited

We are located in the village of Khalapuri, specifically at the home of Pandurang Ganpat Bhosale. Ghansawangi is the main area people know nearby. Shrivatsa Krushivikas Producer Company Limited was started to help the farmers who live around here. It is a real local effort by local people. We do not have a big glass office or any of those fancy things you see in the city. It is just a house where we meet up and talk about the crops and the season. Everyone knows everyone else in Khalapuri, so news travels fast. We talk about seeds, water, and how the markets are doing this week. It is a lot of sitting around on the porch and discussing things before any actual work gets done. That is just the way it goes here and we are used to it. We try to get the best prices and supplies for our members. Farming in this part of the country can be really tough on a person. The soil is okay but the rain is always a big gamble every single year. We all put in the work together to make it work. It is not just a business for us, it is more like a group of neighbors trying to get by. Pandurang keeps the place open for us to use. We have meetings whenever there is something important to decide. It is an honest way to live.
