Pangra Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group, Pangra Farmer Producer Company Limited, is based out of House No. 25 in Chitegaon. That's over in the Paithan area. We are just a collection of farmers from around here who decided to work as one unit. If you know Chitegaon, you know the kind of farming we do. It’s a lot of hard work in the sun and making sure the water gets where it needs to go. We handle the regular stuff like buying inputs and trying to sell what we harvest. There isn't anything fancy about how we run things. We use the space at house 25 to get our planning done. Usually, we are out in the fields most of the day anyway. Farming in Paithan has its ups and downs with the seasons. We just try to keep things moving. Dealing with traders and transport is a big part of what we do now as a group. It makes more sense than trying to fight for a fair price on your own. We aren't looking to be some huge corporation. We just want to make sure the families here can keep farming. It's about the soil and the crops we’ve been growing for years. We keep our records, talk to the members, and try to make sure next year is a bit better than the last one. Sometimes the crop is good, sometimes it isn't, but we stay together through it. There is always some equipment to fix or some field that needs attention. We don't stop and just keep on working.
