S D Mawkar Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based at house 1200 in Tirthpuri. That is in the Ghansawangi area of Jalna district. The company is S D Mawkar Farmer Producer Company Limited. It’s not some big business with a lobby. It is just a place where we get together to figure out how to sell our crops. Most of us here have been farming our whole lives. We decided to start this because it is hard to do everything alone. When you are a group, you have a better chance of getting a decent price at the market. Tirthpuri is a small place, so everyone knows where the office is. We don't have a lot of staff or fancy computers. We just keep our records in books and try to stay organized. Sometimes the harvest is good and sometimes it is not. That is just how it goes in Jalna. We spend a lot of time talking about the rain and the cost of seeds. The address is simple to find if you are in the village. We aren't trying to be the biggest company out there. We just want to make sure the farmers in our little corner of Ghansawangi can keep their farms going. It’s a lot of work and the days are long, especially in the summer heat. We just do what needs to be done every day and hope for a good season next time. There is no point in making things look more complicated than they really are.
