Eknathrao Farmer Producer Company Limited

Eknathrao Farmer Producer Company Limited is located at Gut No 65, right in the middle of Chandai Tepli. It's a quiet spot in the Bhokardan area of Jalna—sometimes people write it as Teplitq on the official mail. Most days you’ll just see us out in the dirt. We started this because doing everything alone was getting too hard for everyone around here. It’s a group of neighbors, really. We share what we know and try to get better prices for what we grow, but it’s not always easy. The roads out here can get pretty muddy when it rains, so getting things moved takes a while. We don’t have a big staff or anything like that. Usually, it’s just a few of us handling the bags or looking over the books in the evening. Jalna gets really dry in the summer, so water is always what we’re talking about. We use simple tools and try to keep things moving. It isn't a fancy operation. There's a lot of sitting on the porch and figuring out who needs what for the next planting. We’ve all known each other for years, so there’s a lot of shouting and laughing while we work. If someone’s tractor breaks, we all know about it pretty fast. We just wanted a name for what we were already doing as a community. The office is basically just a room with some chairs and a desk where we keep the folders and the registers. It’s nothing special, just a place for us to meet.
