Nishadraj Fish Farmers Producer Companylimited

Out here in Tandulwadi, in the Jalna district, we have been working with fish for a long while now. Nishadraj Fish Farmers Producer Companylimited is basically just a group of us who realized we could do more if we worked together. We usually meet up at Manohar Namdev Lahane’s house, number 47/2. He has been a big part of getting everyone on the same page. Raising fish in this part of Maharashtra is not always easy because of how the water levels change, but we make it work. We spend a lot of time checking the ponds and making sure everything is okay. It is a different kind of farming than growing grain, but it is what we know. Most of us have lived in Jalna our whole lives and we have seen how hard it is for a single person to sell their catch for a good price. By forming this company, we can help each other with the transport and finding better markets. It is not fancy work, and our hands are usually wet and smelling like the ponds, but it is honest. We do not have any big corporate mission; we just want to make sure the fish we raise get to the people who need them and that our families can eat. It is just Manohar, me, and the rest of the guys from Tandulwadi trying to keep our heads above water and the business running smooth for the next season. It’s just us.
