Smartfarms Krushivikas Producer Company Limited

Smartfarms Krushivikas Producer Company Limited might sound like a modern name, but we are just a group of farmers from Kothoda. We work out of Shri Mahadeo Krushna Bhoyar’s place here in the Kelapur taluka. It’s a rural area and life moves at its own pace. We focus on agriculture because that’s what we’ve always known. Our families have been tilling this soil for a long time. We decided to form this company to help with the agricultural development of our small village. It’s not about getting rich quick. It’s about making sure we can afford to keep farming next year. We deal with the supply side mostly. Getting the right inputs at the right time is half the battle. Then there’s the selling part. We try to organize the transport so we don't each have to drive a half-empty truck to the city. It saves money and time. Mahadeo’s house is where we meet to settle the accounts. It’s a very informal atmosphere. We wear our work clothes and talk about things that matter to us, like the cost of water or new pests we’ve seen. We are just local people trying to use a little bit of organization to help our community thrive. Kelapur is our home and we want to see the farms here do well. It takes a lot of patience. Things don't change overnight, but we are sticking with it and helping each other.
