Crop Aggregation
Members' produce is pooled into lots large enough to be worth a serious buyer's time — and a serious buyer's rate.
Farmer Producer Company · Gonda, Uttar Pradesh
A farmer-owned producer company in Gonda. We pool our members' produce, buy their inputs together, and sell to buyers as one — so the small farmer gets the big farmer's rate.
Athirst Farmer Producer Company Limited was incorporated in April 2019 at Shri Pal Purwa on Lova Belsar Road, Gonda — not as a trading firm, but as a company the farmers of this belt own themselves.
Seven local farmer-directors sit on the board. Every decision — what rate to hold, which buyer to sell to, which input to stock — is taken by people who farm this soil, not by an office elsewhere.
A bank-financed FPO, not a paper one. Our working capital is backed by scheduled-bank credit, which means we can pay members when the crop moves — not after the buyer pays us.
Profit does not leave the village. What the company earns comes back to the farmers who own it.
The half-acre farmer and the ten-acre farmer are quoted the same number on the same day.
Pooled produce reaches buyers no individual farmer would ever get a call back from.
Six things the company does for the farmers who own it — each one worth more done together than alone.
Members' produce is pooled into lots large enough to be worth a serious buyer's time — and a serious buyer's rate.
Seed, fertiliser and crop protection bought at company scale and passed to members — not at retail counter prices.
Aggregation lets the company wait out a bad week instead of forcing every member to sell on harvest day.
We take the pooled lot to traders, processors and institutional buyers — and negotiate as a company, not as a queue of farmers.
Bank-backed working capital sits behind the company, so members can be paid when the produce moves.
Sowing guidance, input planning and help reaching the government schemes an individual farmer rarely gets to on their own.
One farmer's sack is a load.
A whole block's sacks are a contract.
Why the FPO exists
Registered & Compliant
The same path for every member, whether you bring one quintal or fifty.
Register with your land details and crop. Shareholding in the company follows — you become an owner, not a customer.
Inputs are ordered together ahead of the season, so you are not paying peak retail in sowing week.
Your produce is weighed, recorded against your name, and pooled with the rest into a saleable lot.
The company sells the pooled lot and settles each member against the recorded weight — one rate, openly stated.
Imagine every member farmer getting the day's procurement rate on WhatsApp each morning — and new members registering their land and crop themselves, without anyone filling a slip by hand.
This is how members and buyers would reach the company automatically — enquiry logged, reply sent back on WhatsApp, nobody chasing anybody.
Farmers thinking of joining and buyers looking to source are both welcome to come and talk to the directors in person.

Membership, produce and sourcing enquiries all reach the board at this address.
The company is run by its farmer-directors. On arrival, ask for a director of the FPO — they handle membership, procurement and buyer terms directly.
It is a company registered under the Companies Act, but owned by farmers instead of outside investors. Athirst is registered with the Registrar of Companies as a producer company — its shareholders are its member farmers, and its board is made up of farmers from this area.
Come to the company with your land and identity papers, or send an enquiry through this page. Membership terms and the shareholding are explained by a director before you commit to anything.
Because a single farmer's lot is too small to interest a large buyer, and too urgent to hold back when the rate is poor. Pooled together, the same produce is worth negotiating over — and the negotiation is done by a company you part-own.
Yes — buying inputs in bulk for members is a core part of what a producer company is for. Tell us what you need before the season starts so it can be ordered at company scale rather than bought at the counter in a hurry.
Each member's produce is weighed and recorded against their own name at intake, and settled against that record. The company works on bank-backed working capital, which is precisely what lets it pay members rather than making them wait on the buyer.
Yes. Traders, processors and institutional buyers can source pooled produce directly from the company. Write to us with what you need and in what quantity, and a director will tell you plainly what we can commit to and when.
Whether you farm here or buy from here — tell us what you need, and a director will answer you straight.
