Farmer producer company

We now have 700 farmers spread over 30 villages 500 of whom are organic certified and whose main produce is millets as well as cash crops like turmeric and cotton. What started as a society is now a Farmers Producer Company with 680 shareholders – all of them tribals and with an Executive Committee also composed from them. Over the years they have steadily grown and now have a turnover of about 1.5 crore per year.
