Maalraan Producer Company Limited

Wavdi is a small place in Navapur, and that’s where Maalraan Producer Company Limited is based. You have to go to Ravindra Gavit’s house to find us, since we operate right out of there in the village. Nandurbar is quite a distance from the main cities, so things move a bit slower here, which is fine by us. We are mostly a group of local people who know the land well. Pratap Gavit’s son, Ravindra, handles a lot of the day-to-day stuff. Being a producer company in a place like Wavdi means we spend a lot of time talking to neighbors about their crops and what they need for the next season. It’s not a fancy setup with air conditioning or glass doors. Usually, there’s some mud on the floor if it’s been raining, and there’s always someone stopping by for tea and a chat about the weather. Navapur can get quite hot, so we usually get the heavy work done early in the morning. We deal with whatever the farmers in this part of Maharashtra are growing. It’s a lot of practical work, like sorting out seeds or talking about prices. We don’t have a website or anything like that. People just know where we are by asking around in the village. We’ve lived here our whole lives, so everyone knows the family and where the house is. It’s just how things work in Nandurbar. It is simple living and simple working.
