Ankai Farmers Producer Company Limited

Ankai Farmers Producer Company Limited is located at G No.34 in Nandgaon. We are part of the Vaijapur area. The office is at Ashok Parasram Gadhe’s place. It’s a local setup for the farmers in this part of the region. We don’t have a big fancy building. It’s just a spot where we can get together and figure out how to sell our crops. Most of us have been working the land here since we were young. We know the soil in Vaijapur like the back of our hands. Dealing with the market is always a struggle, so we thought we’d be better off as a group. We talk about the rain, the pests, and the cost of fertilizer. It’s not a polished operation. We have some plastic chairs and an old table. We spend more time in the fields than in the office anyway. That’s where the real work happens. We don’t use complicated words or try to impress anyone. We’re just trying to get a fair price for what we grow. Sometimes we stay late into the night talking about the next season. It’s a tough life, but we don't know any other way. We help each other out with tractors or labor when someone is behind. It’s just the way things are done in Nandgaon. It keeps us busy and connected.
