Shantai Farmers Producer Company Limited

We operate out of Shantai, which is Yuvraj Pralhad Chavan’s place at House Number 2097 on Khultabad Road in Phulambri. Being right there in the Aurangabad area means we deal with a lot of the same issues every other farmer around here faces. We decided to call ourselves Shantai Farmers Producer Company Limited because it felt right for our group. We aren't some distant company with a board of directors who have never seen a field. We are the directors, and we are also the ones out there in the heat every morning. The road outside can get pretty busy with trucks and tractors, especially when the season is in full swing. We use our space here to gather and plan out our moves. Sometimes we talk about new ways to handle the crops, and other times we just vent about how hard the weather has been. It’s not a very formal environment. You’ll probably find someone drinking tea and arguing about seed prices if you walk in. We don’t put on any acts or try to look bigger than we are. We’re just a bunch of people from the Phulambri area trying to make sure our families can keep farming for another generation. It’s a lot of work and the rewards aren't always guaranteed, but we prefer doing it this way rather than going it alone. We just take it one day at a time and see where we can help each other out.
