Decitrus Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are set up at Purushottam Lakshmanrao Tayade’s place in Belora. It’s a farmer producer company, so we spend more time out in the fields than behind a desk. The office is really just a room in the house where we keep the records and meet up. Belora is a small place, and everyone knows each other here. We focus on citrus because that is what grows well around here. Some years the crop is great, other years we struggle with the rain or the heat. That is just the way farming goes. We don't have a big staff. It is mostly just the local farmers getting together to figure out how to sell their produce for a fair price. We use a lot of handwritten notes and notebooks to track things. It feels more personal that way. Sometimes we have meetings under the trees if the office gets too hot. We don't have fancy air conditioning or anything like that. Just some old fans and open windows. Being a producer company means we are all in this together. We talk about the soil, the water, and the market prices every single day. It is hard work and the hours are long, especially during the harvest time. We are just trying to do better for our families and the village. There is no corporate ladder here, just people working the land.
