Ausa Mahila Agro Producer Company Limited

This is the spot at Survey No. 21 in Umbadga, which is near Ausa in Latur. Ausa Mahila Agro is run by women from around here who know a thing or two about the land. We don't have a fancy lobby or any of those glass doors. It’s a simple building where we gather to talk about the harvest and the prices. Latur can be a difficult place when the rain doesn't show up on time. We all live nearby so we see each other at the market anyway. This company is just our way of organizing the work. We handle seeds, fertilizers, and whatever else the farms need. It’s a lot of heavy lifting and sometimes the accounts get a bit confusing but we manage. We aren't looking to become some huge company. We just want to make sure the families in Umbadga have what they need to keep their farms going. There’s usually someone here from early morning until the sun goes down. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the kids too. It’s a very local thing. If you come by, you’ll probably see us sorting through some grain or checking the bags. It's not a quiet place, there's always something moving or someone talking. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing. We don't need things to be perfect, just to work well.
