Maee Agro Producer Company Limited

Maee Agro Producer Company Limited is situated in Sobalgaon, which is part of the Khuldabad area near Aurangabad. Our main spot is House No.125. It is a small village and everyone knows everyone else. We started this because we felt that as individual farmers, we were not getting anywhere. Now that we are a producer company, we try to pool our resources together. It is a lot of work on top of our regular farming duties. Sometimes we meet late in the evening after everyone is done in the fields. We talk about what seeds to get or if someone has a tractor we can all use. It is very informal. We do not wear suits or have big meetings in boardrooms. Usually, it is just sitting on the porch or in the main room of the house. Khuldabad is a beautiful place, but the ground can be tough. We grow things like cotton and maize and it takes a lot out of you. We are just trying to keep the traditions of our village alive while finding new ways to sell what we grow. It is an honest way to live. We make mistakes sometimes with the paperwork, but we are learning. Our families are involved and we just want to make sure the next generation has something to work with. It is just local people doing their best to survive and maybe grow a little bit.
