Sangam Kela Agency Heritage

The story of Grovera Farms' banana operations begins in 1983, when Mr. Santosh Kanhaiyalal Agrawal founded the Sangam Kela Agency in Raver, Jalgaon district. What started as a local banana trading enterprise quickly grew into one of the region's most respected names in banana farming and distribution.

Over three generations, the family has expanded from trading to full-scale cultivation — acquiring 60+ acres of prime banana-growing land in the Tapi river basin. The Agrawal family's deep expertise in banana agronomy, post-harvest handling, and market dynamics has been passed down and refined with each generation.

Mr. Santosh Agrawal's contributions to agriculture were recognised with the prestigious Krishi Bhushan Award — a testament to the family's commitment to farming excellence. Today, Grovera Farms continues this legacy with modern export infrastructure, APEDA registration, and a global market reach that Sangam Kela Agency's founders could only have dreamed of.
