Devadurga Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find our company over in Gabbur, specifically in the Shanti Nagar area. We operate out of the space shared with K. Boodeppa, who is a well-known person in our community. We are a group of farmers from the Devadurga region who decided that working together was better than working alone. Our producer company is a way for us to pool what we grow and have a bit more say in the market. The office is very modest and is mainly used for keeping our membership records and having meetings. It is not a fancy place with air conditioning or modern furniture. It is just a room where we can sit down and talk about the price of seeds or how the monsoon is affecting the crops. We are all local people who have spent our lives working the land in this district. This company is a community effort, and we do all the work ourselves, from the planting to the bookkeeping. Sometimes the administrative stuff gets a little complicated, but we help each other figure it out. Shanti Nagar is a quiet neighborhood, which suits us just fine. If someone is looking for us, they usually just ask for Boodeppa’s office. We do not have any promotional slogans or big business plans. We are just practical people trying to make a steady living from our farms and looking out for one another in the process.
