Tadobadev Adivasi Shetkari Producer Company Limited

Out here in Warora, things move a bit slower, which is how we like it. Tadobadev Adivasi Shetkari Producer Company Limited is really just a group of us local tribal farmers who decided to team up. We operate out of Ganpat Chaudhari’s place in Shegaonbk. If you know the Khemjaee center, you can find us easily enough. It isn’t some big corporate building with glass walls, just a regular spot where we can sit down and figure out how to sell what we grow. Being adivasi farmers, we have our own way of doing things that has been passed down for a long time. We deal with the soil every day and deal with whatever the weather decides to throw at us. Some years the rain is good and the crops look great, other years we just have to tighten our belts and wait it out. Ganpat helps keep the records straight because paperwork isn’t really what we are used to doing. We are more about the seeds and the harvest. We started this because it felt right to work together instead of everyone just struggling on their own. It is a lot of talking and planning under the shade. We don’t have fancy brochures or anyone in a suit. It is just us, trying to get the most out of our land in Shegaonbk and making sure everyone gets a fair shake. That is pretty much the whole story of how we ended up here in the Warora area.
