Shivsanskruti Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is based out of Manur village. It’s at House Number 419. We’re in Kalwan taluka. It’s mostly hilly terrain around here. We called it Shivsanskruti because we wanted something that felt like home. Farming here in Manur isn't easy because of the water sometimes. We all have small plots of land and we were tired of the middlemen taking everything. So a few of us decided to register this company. It's just a way for us to pool our resources. We spend a lot of time talking about the weather and the onion prices since that’s a big thing in Kalwan. Sometimes we meet on the porch and just go over the accounts. It’s not very formal. We have some younger guys helping with the paperwork now because that part is confusing. Mostly, we are out in the dirt. We grow what we can and hope for the best. The office is really just a room in the house where we keep the records. It's a busy place during harvest time. Everyone is rushing around. We don't have any fancy machines, just what we've always used. People in the village know us. We’ve lived here our whole lives. It's a simple life, really. We just want to make sure the next generation can still farm this land without going into too much debt. That's the main thing we worry about.
