Sugi Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our office is at House No. 511 in Mahora, which is in the Jafrabad area of Jalna. We call ourselves Sugi, and we’re just a group of local folks who decided to team up. Jalna is known for producing some great crops, but as individual farmers, we weren't getting very far. We thought if we worked as a producer company, we could handle the business side better. Our office is very simple, just a table and a few chairs in a small room. It’s where we keep our records and meet with the other growers from the village. We don't have a big sign or any fancy equipment. Most of our work happens out in the fields or at the local market. We spend a lot of time talking about the soil and which fertilizers are actually working this year. It’s a lot of practical, everyday talk. Sometimes we run into problems with the paperwork or the government filings because none of us are experts at that stuff, but we help each other out. We’re just trying to make sure the work we do in the sun translates into a bit more security for our homes. It’s a slow process and we’ve had some bad seasons, but we keep going because we don't have much other choice. We’re just trying to do right by our community here in Mahora.
