Ukhlai Doodhvikas Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find Ukhlai Doodhvikas Farmer Producer Company Limited at Santosh Laxmanrao Mane’s house in Dronagiri Nagar, Hadgaon. We focus on the milk side of things because that is what most of us do around here. The mornings start really early when the cans begin to arrive. Santosh has set aside some space at 552/1 for all the records and the meetings. It isn't a professional office with glass doors or anything like that. It’s just a room where we can sit and talk about the price of buffalo milk and why the feed is getting so expensive. Hadgaon gets quite hot in the afternoons, so we usually try to get the work done before the sun is too high. Sometimes we have to wait for the tankers for a long time. It can be frustrating when things don't run on time. We don’t have a big marketing team. We just know each other from the village. The paperwork is always a mess because of all the different farmers involved. We try to keep it organized in some old files, but something always goes missing. We are just trying to get a fair deal for the milk we produce. It’s a lot of physical labor and not much rest. We don’t really have time for anything fancy. Most days, we are just tired and covered in dust, but the work has to be done anyway.
