Shetiputra Farmers Producer Company Limited

Over in Pimpri, within the Parbhani district, we set up Shetiputra Farmers Producer Company Limited. It’s located at Manikrao Sangnaji’s place. Most of us around here have been farming our whole lives because that’s what our families did. It felt right to start this company so we could help each other out with the stuff that happens after the planting is done. Dealing with traders and getting the right fertilizers can be a headache if you’re on your own. We spend a lot of time at the house in 431401 just talking about the fields. Parbhani can be tough with the heat, and the water isn't always where you need it. We don't have any flashy brochures or a big marketing team. It’s just Manikrao and the rest of the farmers trying to figure out the best way to move our produce. Sometimes we sit under the trees and talk for hours about the cost of diesel or why the market prices are down. It’s a real grassroots kind of thing. We aren't experts in business, but we know the land. That has to count for something. Every day is different, and we mostly just try to stay ahead of the bills. It’s a humble setup, but it’s ours. We hope this group makes life a little easier for the families in our village. There’s no secret to it, just honest work and trying to stay organized as a group.
