Vengurla Cashew Farmers Producer Company Limited

Vengurla Cashew Farmers Producer Company Limited is located at Prabhakar Shivaram Satardekar’s house in Post Ubhadanda. We are specifically in the Varchemad area. If you know Vengurla, you know that cashews are a big deal around here. My family has been growing them for a long time, just like most of the people in this company. We decided to form this group because doing it all alone was getting too difficult. Now we use Prabhakar’s place as our main hub. It’s a simple setup with a few tables and chairs for our meetings. Sometimes the salt air from the coast makes everything a bit damp, but we don't mind. We spend our days talking to growers and trying to figure out the best way to move our cashews. It isn't a corporate office by any means. There’s usually some dirt on the floor and the phone rings more than it should. We’re just regular folks from Ubhadanda trying to make a living from the orchards. We don't have a marketing department or a fancy mission statement. We just want to get a fair shake for the work we do. It’s hard work, especially during the harvest season. Everyone is busy then. But we take pride in what we do here in Varchemad. It’s just a local business run by people who actually know what a cashew tree looks like.
