Dour Shivar Farmer Producer Companylimited

Out at G.No.139 in the village of Dour, within the Ardhapur taluka of Nanded, you will find Dour Shivar Farmer Producer Companylimited. It’s a quiet place, mostly surrounded by fields as far as you can see. We decided to form this company so we could work together instead of competing with each other all the time. Nanded has its own challenges with water and soil, and being in a group helps us deal with that. We don't have a fancy office building; we just use the space we have at the farm. You’ll usually see a couple of motorbikes parked outside and men sitting in the shade talking about the price of seeds. We spend our time checking the crops, fixing the irrigation pipes, and making sure the accounts are mostly right. It’s a very local operation, and everyone knows everyone else’s business anyway. We don't use any fancy language or try to impress people with big words. We just want to make sure we get a fair price for the hard work we put into the ground. Every season brings something different, and we just take it as it comes. Sometimes the harvest is good, and sometimes it’s not, but having the company helps us stay steady. It’s just plain, hard work in the sun, day after day, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We focus on the soil and the crops.
