Shirasgavkar Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are based at house number 80 in the village of Sirasgaon Dhakalgaon, which is in the Ambad taluka of Jalna. Most of us here are just farmers from the Pithori area who decided it was better to work together than to try and do everything alone. That is how this company started. It’s not a big corporate thing with a glass building. Our office is just a regular room where we meet to talk about the crops and the rain. Jalna can be a tough place for farming when the monsoon doesn't behave. We deal with the usual stuff like cotton and grains that grow well in this soil. Some days we spend more time arguing about seed prices than actually working, but that is just how it goes with a group of friends and neighbors. We don't have any polished sales pitches. We just want to get a fair price for what we grow so we can keep our homes running. The paperwork for the government is always a bit of a mess, and we are still learning how to manage all the legal bits of being a company. It’s a slow process for us. We just take it one season at a time and hope for the best. If you come by, you’ll likely find us sitting outside talking about the next harvest or the cost of fertilizer. We are just local people doing what we know best.
