Dharnidhar Development Farmer Producer Company Limited

We've been working out of Tonk Khurd for a while now, specifically at Madanlal's place. The name is a bit long, Dharnidhar Development Farmer Producer Company Limited, but locally people just know who we are. It started because a few of us realized that farming alone is getting harder every year. We handle a lot of things related to the crops around here in Dewas. Most days you'll find someone sitting around the office talking about weather or seed prices. It’s not a big fancy setup. We just try to get the farmers together so we can get a better price for what we grow. There's plenty of paperwork to deal with, which Madanlal helps with. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. It's just a group of us trying to make the farm work pay off a bit better. Sometimes the office is busy, sometimes it's quiet depending on the harvest season. We deal with the local crops, mostly what everyone else in the district is growing. If you're looking for us, we are right there in Devalitonkkhurd. It's a simple operation. We focus on the day-to-day stuff, like making sure the supplies are ready when the rain starts. It’s just how we do things here. No one is wearing a suit. We are usually just in our work clothes, figuring out the next steps for the season. It’s hard work, but being together as a company helps us stay afloat. We talk about the soy and wheat quite a bit since that's what's in the fields mostly. People stop by to share a bit of news or just to see how the market is moving. It’s a real community effort.
