Who We Are

Ravande group of marginal farmers along the river Godavari and its canals in west India came together to establish a modern co-operative for self-marketing their agro produce across India and to overseas markets. The group has 100 associated farmers and the counting goes on to increase the beneficiary farmers to achieve the overall socio-economic change in the society. Lack of post-harvest infrastructure and application of advance technologies in increasing the productivity per unit area is the key focus area of the group. This obviously is keeping the values and ethics of the usual business conduct in sustainable way.

Ravande groups are built on principles rooted in collaboration, democracy, economic participation and social responsibility. They are owned and governed by members who use their products, supplies or services, and they exist to provide value for their members. In a collective system, people come together to increase buying power, access goods and services, and create economic opportunity.
