Udhar Patil Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find Udhar Patil Farmers Producer Company Limited at Mr. Ratan Narayan Udhar’s place in Shriram Colony. We are on the Hiverkheda road in Kannad, zip code 431103. It’s a local operation through and through. Ratan had some extra space, and we needed a place to organize the farmers around here, so it just made sense. Kannad is a good area, but like everywhere else, the farming life is a bit of a gamble. We get together to talk about fertilizer, seeds, and who is buying what this season. It’s not a formal boardroom. Usually, we’re just sitting on plastic chairs in the shade. We started this because we wanted to have a bit more say in how our stuff gets sold. The Hiverkheda road can get pretty muddy when the monsoon hits, which makes getting trucks in and out a real pain. We’ve had some long nights trying to get everything sorted before the deadline. We aren't experts at the business side of things, but we know the land. That counts for something. There’s a lot of trust involved when you’re working with your neighbors. We try to keep things simple and not overcomplicate what we are doing. It’s just about getting the work done and making sure everyone gets a fair shake at the end of the day.
