Agriculture was continues to; be an extremely important sector in our country and cooperative system, as one of its main pillars providing vital support services, is crucial for the transformation of agriculture. It is how inspired our founder Late Sri. Chidanand B Kore, an agriculturist and a co-operator, to establish this factory during 1972-73 with the financial support from cane growers of this area and the State Government. With an initial crushing capacity 1250 TCD and as a standalone sugar industry, lour factory had faced a lot of problems all these years in coming out as a viable unit. Though this factory had emerged in this area with a meager beginning, it had not only provided a source of income for forming community but also created a sustainable employment opportunity in this rural area.

After a lot of dispute on location of plant, near Nandi village, the construction work started in year 1971 and comp elected in the year 1974. The factory was inaugurated by Vice-president Shri B.D Jatti on 6th November 1974. The regular production has been started from December 1974.

Rs.325 lakhs long term loan was borrowed from IFC, LIC, IDBI for original plant and First phase expansion and has been repaid as per their.

The crushing capacity was enhanced from 1250 TDC to 2000 in 1984-85 and from 2000 TCD to 3000 IN 1993-94. The factory house hold expenses of factory from 3500 to 5500 TCD. Every expansion was not easy and had created a financial setback due to the lack of professionalism both in technical and financial managements. Thus over the period of two and half decades, the factory had grown only in sizes but not adopted the range of different bi-product activities and had suffered due to a weak governance on efficiency, effectiveness, adaptability and internal and external accountability in the management. These things have brought the factory almost to the brink of sickness. Besides resulting a huge negative net worth and ever-high accumulated losses. However this cooperative and rural based industry must succeed if the poor farmers and the rural unemployed youths have to be prosperous.
