Krushione Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is based at Bapurao’s place over in Yeramewanbhujwadi, which is near Gangakhed. We call ourselves Krushione Farmer Producer. It is basically a group of local farmers who wanted to do things together instead of alone. We don't have a big fancy office building; we just use the space we have at the house. Most of the time, we are out in the fields anyway. When we need to do the business side of things, we meet up at the house and get it done. Gangakhed is a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business, so we don't need to explain much to people. We deal with the crops that grow well in this part of the region. It’s a lot of coordination and making sure the trucks show up on time. Sometimes things go wrong, like a tractor breaking down or the prices dropping suddenly, but we deal with it as a group. We aren't trying to be a huge corporation. We just want to make sure our families are taken care of and our crops get sold. We keep our books as best as we can without any professional help. It’s a simple life, mostly following the seasons. We talk about seeds, water, and fertilizers more than anything else. If you walk by, you’ll see us working or maybe just having tea and discussing the next harvest. It is just a normal part of life for us here in the village.
