Shri Shanaishwar Farmers Producer Company Limited

Shri Shanaishwar Farmers Producer Company Limited is run out of house number 510 in Jalgaon Khurd. That is Appasaheb Motiram Sarode’s home. We are located in the Nandgaon area. It is a very local operation for our farming community. We don’t have a big corporate office or a staff in suits. It is just a group of us who farm the land nearby. Appasaheb’s place is where we keep all the records and have our meetings when needed. We named it after the deity because we need all the help we can get with the rains and the crops. Farming in Jalgaon Khurd can be tough some years, so we decided to form this company to work as a team. It makes the paperwork and the selling part a bit more manageable for the small farmers. Most of our day is spent out in the sun, not sitting behind a desk. When we do meet at house 510, it is usually over some tea to discuss the latest prices or what seeds we should buy for next season. It is a very informal way of doing things, but it works for us. We don't use big words or have complicated plans for the future. We just want to make sure the work we do in the fields pays off. People in Nandgaon know us as their neighbors. We are just a bunch of farmers trying to stay organized and look after each other's interests in the village. It is a quiet, simple way of life here.
