Jambhuldara Agro Producer Companylimited

Down in Karkhel, which is part of the Ashti area, we put together the Jambhuldara Agro group. Most of us are from the villages around Dhamangoan and we’ve been farming these plots for as long as we can remember. It gets pretty dry out here sometimes, so we figured that by banding together as a producer company, we could manage our resources better. It isn't a fancy setup by any means. We meet up in the village and figure out who needs what for the next season. The company is really just an extension of what we were already doing as neighbors, just now it is on paper. We don't have a big marketing budget or anything like that. We just focus on the crops like pulses and grains that grow well in this soil. Some days are slow and we just sit around talking about the market prices over at the local mandi. Other days, everyone is working hard to get the bags loaded and ready. It’s a simple life in Karkhel and we like keeping the business simple too. We are just local folks trying to make sure the work we do in the fields actually pays off. There’s no big boss here, just a group of us from the taluka trying to keep things running for our families and the other farmers nearby.
