Shree Sidhaji Agrotech Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based out of Apchunda, a small village in the Killari area. Our main spot is at Ravsaheb Ganapatrao Mane’s house, number 56/2. It’s a local operation, nothing too fancy. We started this producer company because we saw that working alone wasn't getting us anywhere. Most of us here grow the usual crops like soy or pigeon peas, and we’re just trying to figure out better ways to do it. We called it "Agrotech" but don't let that fool you into thinking we have robots or anything. It just means we’re trying to use better tools and maybe some better seeds when we can get them. Killari has a history, and the people here are tough, so we just keep working the soil. There’s a lot of talking that goes on in our meetings—mostly about the cost of diesel or why the electricity is off again. We don’t have a marketing department; we just talk to the people we’ve known for years. It’s a group effort where everyone puts in a bit of time when they aren't busy with their own fields. We just want to make sure the farmers in Apchunda have a place to come together and solve problems. It's not a glamorous job, and the paperwork can be a real headache, but we’re doing our best to keep things moving forward for everyone involved.
