Pankaj Khatal Patil Farmers Producer Company Limited

Pankaj Khatal Patil Farmers Producer Company Limited has its main office at Ambedkar Chauk. This is in Manmad, which everyone knows is a busy place because of the railway and the grain storage. We are part of the Nasik district, so we deal with a lot of what grows around here, like onions and grapes. The office is at Ravindra Madhavrao Kolhe’s place. It can get pretty noisy outside with the traffic from the chauk, but we get our work done anyway. Being a farmer producer company in Manmad means we are right in the middle of the action. We spend a lot of time talking to local growers about their crops. Ravindra keeps the books in order, though it’s a lot of work for one person. We aren't some polished business from the city. We are just a group of farmers who thought it was time to work together. People come by Ambedkar Chauk to talk about the market prices or to see if we have any news about the latest schemes. It’s a very practical setup. We don't have fancy brochures or a mission statement. If you want to know what we do, you just sit down and talk to us. We are focused on the daily grind of moving produce and making sure the farmers get paid. It’s hard work, but being together makes it a bit easier to handle. We just take it one day at a time in this busy town.
