Wagheshwari Farmers Producer Company Limited

Wagheshwari Farmers Producer Company Limited is situated in Pargaon (Mehakari), which is in the Ahmednagar district. We work out of Rajaram Bansibhau Darkunde’s place. Ahmednagar gets very hot in the summer, and that defines a lot of our work schedule. We start early before the sun gets too high and usually wrap up things late in the evening. This company is a way for us to stand on our own feet. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment or a big warehouse. Mostly, it's just a few of us coordinating things from a small room in the village. We talk to the local farmers, see what they are growing, and try to find the best way to move the goods. It’s a lot of phone calls and a lot of driving around on motorbikes. Sometimes the paperwork gets confusing because none of us were trained to be office workers. We are people of the soil. The village of Pargaon is where we were raised, and it’s where we want to stay. We deal with whatever the season gives us, whether it's onions or grains. It’s a simple operation with no hidden layers. We aren't trying to impress anyone with big numbers. We just want to make sure the hard work put into the fields by our community isn't wasted. It’s a slow, steady effort to make things a bit better for everyone involved here in our corner of Ahmednagar.
