Mrushneshwar Farmer Producer Companylimited

Mrushneshwar Farmer Producer Companylimited operates out of Pralhad S. Bodke’s place in Dhanaj. We are located in the Mukhed taluka of Nanded. It’s a small operation, mostly just a group of us who grew up around here and decided to pool our resources. Farming in Dhanaj has its ups and downs, usually depending on the rain. We set this company up because individual farmers don’t have much power when it comes to buying supplies or selling their grain. By being a producer company, we can at least talk to the bigger buyers as one group. The office is really just a room where we keep our files and meet up after the day's work is finished. It’s not fancy, and sometimes it gets a bit messy with all the receipts and ledgers piling up on the table. Nanded is a big district, but we focus on our immediate neighbors in Mukhed. We’ve had to learn a lot about business stuff that we never knew before, like how to register things and keep proper accounts for the government. It’s a lot of extra work on top of the actual farming we do every day. But we think it’s worth it if it means we get a slightly better deal at the market. No one is getting rich here, we are just trying to stay afloat and help each other out. If you come by, you’ll probably find someone sorting through seeds or arguing about the transport costs. That is just how we spend our afternoons.
