Sobati Agrotech Producer Company Limited

Over here in Gadhinglaj, specifically in the Shewaleadi area, you’ll find our little operation. Sobati Agrotech isn’t based in some big glass building. We actually run things right out of a house, number 1738 in Karanjmal, which belongs to Kanchan and Abhijit Shewale. It’s a very local setup. We started this whole thing because we saw how much the farmers in our neighborhood were struggling to get by on their own. We mostly spend our time looking at the crops and trying to figure out the best way to get them to the market without losing too much money. We don't have any marketing experts or a sales team. It's just us, sitting around and talking about the harvest. Some days the conversation is all about the weather, and other days we’re complaining about the rising price of fertilizer. Since we all live nearby, we’ve known each other’s families for a long time. It makes working together a lot easier when there’s that kind of trust. We handle all sorts of agricultural jobs, from sharing tools to selling the produce as a group. Gadhinglaj is a pretty quiet place, and we like that. We try to stay as busy as possible during the planting season. If you come by the house, you’ll likely see us sorting through papers or chatting with a neighbor about the next season. We’re just regular folks who know how to work the soil and keep the business running.
