Parikranta Farmers Producer Company Limited

Parikranta Farmers Producer Company is a group of us working together out of Tharod in the Harij area of Patan. We are based at Thakor Jalaram Ambaram’s place. It’s a local setup because we are all farmers ourselves. Being a producer company means we try to pool our resources so we can get better deals and help each other out with our crops. It’s not like a regular business where there’s a boss and employees in suits. We are out in the sun most of the time, and the office work happens when we can find a spare hour. Patan is a tough place for farming sometimes, so sticking together makes sense. We deal with the basics like seeds, tools, and selling what we grow. There’s always someone stopping by to talk about the latest weather report or how the prices are looking this season. It’s a lot of talking and a lot of manual labor. Our paperwork is usually kept in a few folders on a desk in the corner. We don't have a website or a marketing team. We just know each other from the village and work on the land together. Sometimes things are slow, and other times we are working until late at night to get a harvest ready for the market. It’s just the way life goes in the rural parts of Gujarat. We are just a bunch of neighbors trying to make a living and keeping things simple.
