Svr Krushi Mitra Producer Companylimited

We are out in Akkarwai, which is in the Latur district. The company is run by Digambar Tukaram Ghule, the son of Tukaram Ghule. Svr Krushi Mitra Producer Companylimited is exactly what the name suggests—a friend to the farmers here. In Akkarwai, farming is the main thing everyone knows. Digambar handles the day-to-day stuff from his place. We don't have a big corporate building or a bunch of managers. It's just us and the land. Latur can be a tough place for farming because of the water situation, so we spend a lot of time talking about how to manage that. We get together to share ideas on what crops might do better in the current season. It’s a very hands-on kind of thing. We aren't experts in marketing, we are just people who know how to grow things. We help each other with getting seeds and figuring out where to take the harvest once it's ready. The office is basically just a room where we keep our records and meet up. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except when it's time to harvest. Then everything becomes a bit chaotic but in a good way. We just want to make sure that the people in Akkarwai who work so hard in the sun have a way to get their produce out there. It’s about helping our neighbors and keeping the village moving. It’s not always easy but we stay with it every day.
