Subhashita Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based out of Pombhurna, which is a small corner of the Chandrapur district. Our office is really just a part of Kashinath Mankar’s house. You won’t find any big signs or glass doors here. It’s mostly just a place where we keep our registers and some samples of what we are growing. The weather in this part of Maharashtra gets really hot, so most of our meetings happen on the porch where there is a bit of a breeze. We started Subhashita Farmer Producer Company Limited because doing everything as one person was getting too difficult. Now we sit together, drink some tea, and talk about the price of seeds or when the rain might finally show up. The roads around here get pretty muddy during the monsoon, so sometimes it's hard for everyone to get to the house at the same time. We have a few old wooden chairs and a ceiling fan that makes a lot of noise. It is just a group of us from the village trying to handle the paperwork that comes with farming these days. We spend a lot of time worrying about the harvest and making sure the bags are stacked right. There isn't much to see if you visit, just a few farmers trying to figure out the market. It's quiet work, and we just take it one day at a time without much fuss or any big speeches about what we are doing.
