Makardhwaj Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is based at Gat No. 134 in Khandala M.Shivar. It is a regular piece of land where we spend most of our days. Makardhwaj Farmer Producer Company Limited was put together by a few of us who have been farming in this area for as long as we can remember. Khandala has its own way of doing things, and the soil here keeps us busy from morning until the sun goes down. We aren't a big corporation with shiny brochures or a glass building. We are just a bunch of neighbors who realized that if we pool our resources, we might have a better shot at getting our produce to the market without losing too much money to people who don't even step foot in the mud. Farming is tough, and doing it alone is even tougher these days. We mostly deal with the crops that grow well in this specific Shivar. Sometimes the harvest is good, sometimes it is a bit of a struggle when the bugs come or the heat stays too long, but that is just how life goes in the village. We spend a lot of time talking about seeds, the price of fertilizer, and how to get the old tractors fixed when they break down at the worst possible time. It is a simple setup we have here. We use the space at the Gat number to meet up and plan for the next season. Everyone knows everyone else, so there is no need for formal meetings or big speeches. We just want the land to stay productive for everyone.
