Krushikanya Mahila Farmer Producercompany Limited

This group is based out of Saroli, in the Gadhinglaj area of Kolhapur. We operate from House Number 417, which belongs to Balu Yallappa Patil. Krushikanya Mahila Farmer Producercompany Limited is mainly run by the women here. We decided to get together because it’s easier to manage the farming stuff as a group. Kolhapur has good soil, but the market side is always a bit tricky for us. We don't have a corporate office. It's just a room where we meet and discuss what to plant or how to buy supplies together. It is a bit crowded sometimes when everyone shows up at the house. We have our hands full with the fields and the paperwork. Being in a small village like Saroli means everyone knows your business, but that also means people help out. We are trying to make sure the women farmers here get a fair deal. It’s not a fancy project, just some local people trying to improve things. Sometimes it's slow, and the weather doesn't always go our way. We deal with the 416504 post office and the local banks. It takes a lot of time to organize everyone. We just keep at it, one day at a time, working the land and looking after the company business from Balu’s house. There is always a lot of chatter when we meet. We talk about everything from fertilizer to the latest news from the taluka office. It's our way of staying connected and strong in this line of work.
