At a time when Indian agriculture is facing rising input costs, soil degradation, and declining farm incomes, Gramtej Farmer Producer Company Ltd. (FPC) has emerged as a powerful example of how collective thinking, innovation, and farmer-centric leadership can create sustainable change.
Founded in 2023, Gramtej FPC is steadily redefining the future of organic and natural farming in Maharashtra by placing farmers at the center of economic and ecological development.
A Vision Born from Concern and Commitment
The foundation of Gramtej FPC was laid by Sandiprao Subhashrao Lajurkar, Sanjay Ramkrishna Asare, and Shitalsingh R. Thakur, driven by a shared concern for the deteriorating state of agriculture and rural livelihoods.
While aspiring to build a multinational-level organization, the founders remained firm in their belief that farmers, soil health, human health, and economic sustainability must never be compromised.
What began with just 10 farmers has today grown into a strong network of over 2,000 farmers, all committed to low-cost organic and natural farming practices.
Leadership with Diverse Expertise
Gramtej FPC’s strength lies in its leadership team, which brings together expertise from management, organic farming, technology, and market operations.

Driving Low-Cost Organic and Natural Farming
One of Gramtej FPC’s key achievements has been promoting cost-effective organic farming models that reduce farmers’ dependency on chemical inputs while improving soil fertility and crop quality.
Through structured training, field-level guidance, and access to organic inputs, the company helps farmers:
