Mankamneshwar Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us at 38 / A Kothure Road in Rasalpur. This is Niphad territory, so there is always a lot of activity with the crops. Mankamneshwar Farmer Producer Company Limited was set up so we could have a bit more control over our own work. We don't have a big staff. It's just a few of us who handle the day-to-day business. We spend most of our time at the warehouse or out talking to the other farmers in Rasalpur. The road out front gets pretty dusty in the summer, but it is a good location for getting the produce out to the main routes. We don’t use any fancy marketing tricks. We just show people what we have grown and hope for the best. Sometimes the crops are great, sometimes they are not, but that is just farming for you. We keep a close eye on the Kothure Road traffic to see when the buyers are coming through. Our office is simple, just a place to sit and do the books. We don't need much more than that. Most of the guys involved here have been farming their whole lives. We decided that working as a group was better than working alone. It has worked out okay so far. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing. There is always someone dropping by to talk about the latest prices or the rain.
