Jijau Shetkari Producer Company Limited

Jijau Shetkari Producer Company Limited runs out of house number 901/A in Amalner. This is over in the Patoda area of Bid district. It’s actually at Shubhangi Dadasaheb Nawle’s place. We aren't some big corporation with a glass building. We work from where we are. Most of us are farmers or come from farming families. We put this company together because it made sense for the producers in our part of Bid. Life in Amalner is mostly about the land and the seasons. We meet up at the house to talk about seeds or what’s happening in the market. It’s a very local thing. We don’t use big words or have long meetings. We just decide what needs doing and we do it. Sometimes the rains fail us and things get tough. That’s just part of life here. We help each other out when we can. The address is easy to find once you get into the village. We’ve lived here a long time. People know the Nawle house. We handle the logistics of getting our produce out there. It’s a lot of phone calls and sitting around the porch. We don’t have a website or anything fancy. Just our names and our work. It’s how things get done in Patoda. We just want to keep our farming going. It’s a quiet life but we stay busy with the fields. We don't worry about being polished. We just worry about the harvest. It is a long day every day but we like the work.
