Mandodari Farmer Producer Company Limited

In the village of Katkheda, near Ambad, you will find us working at the Mandodari Farmer Producer Company Limited. The office is at the house of Kalindabai Subhash Jarhad. It is a quiet area most of the time, except when it is harvest season. Then, everything moves a lot faster. We started this because the farmers in our part of Jalna needed a better way to organize. It is not always easy to manage everything from a small village, but we make it work with what we have. Most of the people involved are neighbors or relatives. We sit together under the shade or in the small office room to plan out the next few weeks. The soil around here is decent if the water situation stays okay. We focus on the crops that grow best in this soil. There is no big corporate structure here, just a few of us making sure the logistics don't fall apart. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to wait it out, but that is part of living in Katkheda. We try to be practical about our goals. If someone needs help with their paperwork or wants to join the group, they just walk up to the door. We keep the gates open for anyone from the local area who is farming and needs a place to bring their goods.
