Krushiniketan Farmers Producer Company Limited

Krushiniketan Farmers Producer Company Limited is what we call ourselves, but mostly we are just neighbors in the Akole area. Our spot is at Dhondu Laxman Mundhe’s place in Shendi village. If you have been around Ahmednagar district, you know how it is for farmers here. We spend most of our time out in the fields, so if you come looking for us, we might be out back or checking on the crops. Shri Dhondu handles a lot of the day-to-day stuff at the house. We aren’t trying to be some huge company that you see on the news. We are just a group of local people who grow food and want to make sure it gets to the market without too many problems. Sometimes the roads are dusty and the sun is harsh, but that is just part of the life we chose. We talk about the rain a lot, like everyone else around here. The soil in Akole is good if you treat it right. We share what we know and help each other out when someone’s tractor breaks down or when the harvest is too big for one family to handle. It is a simple way of living, even if the paperwork for the company can be a bit of a headache sometimes. We just wanted a way to be more organized as a group, so here we are in Shendi, just doing what we have always done for the land.
