Ashiv Yuva Agrotech Producer Company Limited

People here in Ashiv know us mostly through the family ties and the fields we work. We are just a group of local young guys who started Ashiv Yuva Agrotech Producer Company Limited because the market prices were never quite right for us alone. We operate out of Vyankat Mane’s place in Ausa. It is not some fancy building, just a spot where we can sit down and figure out the transport for our soy and chickpeas. Latur gets very dry in the summer, and the dust usually covers everything in the office, but we keep going. We spend most of our mornings checking on the crops or talking to the other farmers in the village. Sometimes the internet is slow when we try to do the paperwork, and it gets frustrating. We aren't trying to be some big corporation. We just want to make sure the produce from our area gets sold without too much trouble. My uncle usually stops by with tea in the afternoon, and we talk about the rain or the lack of it. It’s hard work being out in the sun all day, but having the company helps us share the load. We handle things as they come, whether it is a broken tractor or a sudden change in the market. Most of the time, we are just happy if the season goes well and the families in Ashiv have enough to get through the year. We are just simple people.
