Manavdharm Agro Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our office is at House Number 58 in Yerandi, which is in the Ausa area of Latur. Manavdharm Agro Farmer Producer Company Limited is run by us local folks right out of Shaymarao Nirati Jadhav’s place. We didn't see much point in renting a big office in the city when all the work is happening right here in the village. Latur can be a tough place for farming because of the water issues we have sometimes. We decided that if we didn't start working together, things were only going to get harder. This company is our way of standing together. We spend a lot of time sitting on the porch talking about which crops might do better this year or how to get the tractor fixed without spending a fortune. It’s not a polished business with a lot of rules. It’s more about trust and helping your neighbor out when they’re in a pinch. We handle the paperwork as best as we can, though none of us really likes sitting at a desk for too long. We’d much rather be out checking the fields. We’re just honest people trying to make a go of it in Maharashtra. If you come by Yerandi, you’ll find us there, probably busy with something or other. We don't have much for show, just a lot of hard work and some hope for the next harvest.
