Shivsneh Agro Producer Company Limited

Our office is located at house number 180 in Khadka, which is in the Ghansawangi area of Jalna. It is out here in the district where the sun gets really hot during the summer months. We are a bunch of local farmers who decided to work as a team under the name Shivsneh. We mainly focus on the crops that grow well around this specific part of Maharashtra. Life in Khadka is almost entirely about what is happening in the fields. We spend our days checking on the plants and making sure the water is actually reaching the spots where it is needed most. Sometimes the borewells go dry and that causes a real headache for everyone involved. We try to help each other out with getting fertilizers and finding people who want to buy our grain. This is not a fancy business with big offices or expensive furniture. We just have a small room with a few chairs and a desk where we handle the accounts. Dealing with the market in Jalna takes up a significant amount of our time. We have to keep a close eye on the prices every day. Some of us have been farming since we were just kids. This company is basically just a way for us to make the work a bit more organized. It involves a lot of phone calls and waiting around for trucks to show up. We do not have a lot of staff, just the members helping.
