Dokhale Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down here at G. No. 208 in Math Jalgaon, things move at their own pace. We are part of the Ambad taluka, and Dokhale Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited is basically just a group of us trying to stay afloat. Farming is what we know. My family has been doing this for generations, and most of the other guys in the company are in the same boat. We decided to put our names together so we could buy things in bulk and maybe get a better price when we sell. It’s not a big corporate operation with a shiny lobby. It’s a room where we keep our records and meet when the sun goes down. Math Jalgaon is a small place, so news travels fast and everyone knows what everyone else is growing. We have our fair share of problems, like when the rain doesn't show up or when the prices drop for no reason at all. We just keep going because that’s the only way. You’ll usually find someone at the office fiddling with the books or talking on the phone to a buyer. We don't use big words or have a list of goals on the wall. We just want to make sure the work we do in the fields actually pays off at the end of the season. It’s a lot of manual labor and honest talk around here, and we prefer it that way.
