Taraswadi Samrudh Farmer Producercompany Limited

We are located over at House No. 033 in Taraswadi, which is part of the Kaledhon area in the Khatav taluka of Satara. Our setup is basically running out of Baban Gangaram Pawar’s place. It’s a group of us from around the village who decided to start this farmer producer company because doing everything alone was getting too hard. Satara can be a tough place to farm when the rain doesn’t show up, so we figured if we pooled our crops together, we might have a better shot at things. Our office is just a simple room where we keep our files and sit around on plastic chairs talking about what we need to buy for the next season. We don't have any fancy signs or big glass windows. It’s mostly just us coming in from the fields, often with mud on our boots, to figure out the logistics. We handle everything from getting seeds to trying to find better places to sell our produce. It’s a lot of work and we are still learning the business side of things. Sometimes the paperwork gets confusing and we have to ask for help, but we’re getting there. We spend a lot of time drinking tea and arguing about the best way to move our goods to the market. We just want to make sure the folks here in Taraswadi get a fair shake after all the hard work they put into the land.
