Chandgadachi Doulat Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is called Chandgadachi Doulat Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited. We are based in Parale, which is part of Chandgad in the Kolhapur district. Our office is at House Number 433, which belongs to Sanjay Zilu Gavade. Even though the name on the door is Sanjay’s, this company is really about the women farmers in our area. We realized that if we worked together, we could have a bigger say in how our produce is sold. Farming in Kolhapur is a way of life, but it’s not always easy for women to get the support they need. This company is our way of changing that. We meet up at the house to discuss seeds, harvests, and where to sell our goods. It’s a very local thing. We don’t have a fancy setup. It’s just us sitting together and figuring things out. We focus on what’s right in front of us. The 416509 area has good soil, but you still have to work hard to get anything out of it. We share our tools and our knowledge. It’s a simple arrangement that helps us all get by. We aren't interested in being a big corporation. We just want to make sure our families are taken care of and our farms stay productive. It’s honest work, and we do it together. We are proud of what we have built in this small village and will keep it going for our children.
