Serving the Farming
Community of Melghat
Agriculture and agricultural trade have been part of our family for decades. In 2000, Santosh Shelke started Sandip Agro Agency in Dharni with a simple objective: to provide farmers with reliable access to quality fertilizers, seeds, pesticides, and other agricultural inputs.
Over the years, the business has grown through consistent service, product availability, and long-standing relationships with farmers in Dharni, Melghat, and nearby areas. The values that guide us today are deeply influenced by Late Motiram Ji Shelke, whose dedication to farmers and involvement in the agricultural trade earned respect across the region.
While other members of our family operate their own independent agricultural businesses, Sandip Agro Agency has remained focused on serving the farming community of Dharni. Our approach has always been straightforward — stock genuine products, maintain availability throughout the season, and provide practical support whenever farmers need it.
