Meghale Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited

Up in Devgaonshani, you will find us at the home of Baban Meghale. This is where Meghale Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited is based. We are in the Vaijapur area, which is a place where most people know a thing or two about farming. We don't have a corporate office with glass walls. Our meetings happen on the porch or in the main room of the house. It's a very local way of doing things, but it’s the only way we know. Baban is a well-known face around here, and having the company based at his place makes it easy for the other farmers to stop by. We talk about the crops, the market, and the struggles of the season. Vaijapur can be a dry place, so there is always a lot of conversation about how to manage the water we have. We don’t use any fancy language or try to act like we are from the big city. We are just local people trying to work together so we can get a better handle on our farming. Sometimes the cows are making noise in the background while we try to look over the books, and that is just fine with us. It’s a real life, not a polished one. We just take things as they come and try to stay organized.
