Aarpan Agro Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is Aarpan Agro Farmer Producer Company Limited and we are based in Makodi village. This is in the Sengaon area of Hingoli district. We use Maruti Nadeo Hingankar’s house, number 288, as our main point of contact. We are all just neighbors who have been farming side by side for years. We noticed that when we went to the market alone, we didn't have much say. So, we started this company to stay together. It's not a big operation with lots of employees. It’s just us farmers. We grow what the land allows and we share the burdens of the season. Sometimes the rains fail us and other times we have a bumper crop, but the work never stops. We aren't very good at the technical stuff, but we know our soil and our cattle. At house 288, you’ll usually find someone drinking tea and talking about crop prices or the cost of diesel. We don't have a mission statement on the wall. We just want to make sure the work we do in the heat pays off enough to keep the lights on. It’s a simple life in Makodi. We try to be honest with each other and work hard together. That is all there is to it. If you’re looking for a big business, this isn't it. We are just local farmers from Hingoli doing our best with what we have.
