Who We Are

A Family Legacy Serving Indian Agriculture

Founded in 1986 by Dattatray Gadge and Balasaheb Gadekar in Ghargaon, Sangamner, LTC Group India began as a tomato trading house with one simple promise — give farmers a fair rate for the quality they grow.

Four decades later, that promise powers six businesses: pan-India tomato trading, pomegranate exports, plastic crate manufacturing, modern farms, hospitality, and organic fertilizers. In the web of the agricultural landscape, we connect farmers with consumers — and stand with the farming community at every step from soil to shelf.

  • Fair rates for farmers — transparent, quality-based pricing at every market yard.
  • Farm to world — from Maharashtra's orchards to overseas markets.
  • Sustainable future — organic fertilizers and modern farming for the next generation.
