Punadsagar Farmers Producer Company Limited

Down in Vinchur, specifically at H No 30/14, we spend most of our time thinking about the harvest. Punadsagar Farmers Producer Company Limited is based right here in the Baglan area of Nashik. Nashik is known for its farming, but that doesn't mean it’s easy for the people actually doing the work. We’ve got a lot of history with the land here. This company is basically just a way for us to stick together. We deal with all sorts of crops depending on the season, and sometimes it gets pretty hectic. The house number 30/14 is where we congregate to sort out the business side of things. It’s not a big shiny building, just a regular spot in the village. We talk about the Punadsagar area and how the water levels are looking because that pretty much dictates our whole year. There’s a lot of back and forth between the members. One person might have a good idea about seeds, and another knows a better way to transport the goods. We don’t have a big board of directors, just a bunch of guys who know how to plow a field. We try to keep things simple and honest. If a crop is good, we’re happy. If it’s bad, we huddle up and figure out what to do next. That’s the reality of life in Vinchur for us. We’re just local farmers trying to stay afloat together.
