Mhalsai Farmers Producer Company Limited

Mhalsai Farmers Producer Company Limited is run out of Shri Dattarao Rangnath’s place in Utti. We are way out in the Sengaon taluka of Hingoli district. It is a quiet spot, mostly surrounded by fields. Most of us have lived in Sakhra or nearby for our whole lives. We know every path and every well in this area. Setting this up was a big step for us. We wanted to see if we could get a better handle on our own crops without too many middle people involved. It is mostly cotton and soy around here, depending on the year. Some days we spend more time fixing the tractor or dealing with the power cuts than actually doing business. But that is life in a village. Dattarao lets us use his space for the office work. We keep the ledgers there and meet up to talk about the seed prices. It gets loud when we disagree on things, which happens a lot. Everyone has their own way of doing things. We are still learning how to run a proper company. It is different from just farming. There are forms to fill and rules to follow. But we stick together because we are neighbors. If one of us is struggling, the others notice. We aren't looking to get rich quick. We just want a fair chance for our families in Hingoli. It takes a lot of patience to make it work.
