Nagpur Mandarin Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is called Nagpur Mandarin Farmers Producer Company Limited. Even though Nagpur is in our name, our actual base is at House No.45, Survey No.11/2 in Deothan Salbardi. That’s in the Morshi area of Amravati district. The pin code is 444905. We focus on mandarins, which most people just call oranges. This part of Maharashtra is famous for them. We are a bunch of farmers who got tired of trying to do everything alone. So we set up this company to help each other out. Our office is just a small house on a piece of land. It’s not some polished corporate building. We spend most of our time out in the groves anyway. Picking the fruit and making sure the trees are healthy takes up most of the day. In the evenings, we might sit at the house and go over the numbers. It’s a lot of manual labor and worrying about the rain. But when the harvest is good, it feels worth it. We deal with the local markets and try to get the mandarins out to other cities. It’s a practical business. We don't have any big slogans or anything. We just want to grow good fruit and make sure the farmers get paid fairly for their work. It’s been a learning process for all of us here in Salbardi. We just try to keep our trees healthy and our members happy. It's a simple life but we like it.
