Grin Farmers Producer Company Limited

Grin Farmers Producer Company Limited is run out of Dilip Nivvruti Late’s place in Kothul. We are in the Shrigonda area of Ahmadnagar. If you come to Kothul, just ask for Dilip’s house and someone will point you the way. We are a group of local farmers who decided that we were tired of the old way of doing things. In Ahmadnagar, the weather can be very dry and the ground is tough, so you have to work twice as hard to get a good crop. We use Dilip’s house as our meeting point. We sit there and figure out who needs what and where the best prices are. We are not a big company with a lot of money. We are just guys from the village who know how to grow onions and grain. Every day is a bit of a struggle with the water and the electricity, but we manage. This company is just a tool for us to keep our heads above water. We don't have a mission statement or any of that. We just want to get the work done and get home to our families. It is practical and often quite stressful, but it’s our life. We know every acre of this land in Kothul and we are just trying to make it work for us instead of the big traders.
