Soil To Silk Reshim Farmers Producer Company Limited

Soil To Silk Reshim Farmers Producer Company Limited is located at Nilabai Ramrao Kachre’s place in Kachrewadi. This is in the Jalna district, and if you know this area, you know that reshim, or silk farming, is quite a specialized thing. We aren't in the middle of a big industrial zone. Instead, we are right where the mulberry trees grow. Working with silkworms requires a lot of patience and specific conditions, so our days are mostly spent checking on the larvae and making sure everything is clean and the temperature is right. It’s not a job for someone who wants to sit in a clean office all day. Nilabai’s house serves as the hub for all the farmers in the Kachrewadi area who are involved in this. We get together to talk about the quality of the cocoons and how we can get them to the markets. Jalna can be a busy place, but out here in the village, it’s mostly the sound of the wind and the work being done in the sheds. We have to be very careful with the silkworms, as they are quite delicate. It’s a traditional kind of farming that has been updated a bit with our producer company structure. We don't have many employees; it’s mostly just the farmers themselves doing the work. It’s a practical, hands-on business that starts literally with the soil and ends with silk. We just keep at it throughout the seasons.
