Shivar Vasundhara Farmer Producer Company Limited

Started this group in Kandli because things were getting hard for individual farmers around here in Kalamnuri. We are mostly neighbors and family friends who have been working these fields for generations in the Hingoli and Parbhani areas. It’s not a fancy setup at all. We just operate out of our village and try to figure out the best way to handle our harvests without losing too much money to the guys in the middle. Most days involve sitting around discussing which seeds worked or why the rain messed up the last batch. Shivar Vasundhara is really just a way for us to stay connected and maybe get a better price when we go to the market. We deal with whatever crops are in season, mostly what everyone else in Maharashtra grows around here. It’s a lot of physical work and quite a bit of paperwork that none of us really likes doing, but it’s necessary now. We don't have a big office or anything. It's just us in the village at Kandli, trying to make the farm life a bit more stable for our kids and our families. Sometimes the internet is slow or the power goes out, so things take much longer than they should. But we are here every day. It’s just how it is. We didn't start this to get famous, just to survive the season and keep our land productive for the next generation. It’s hard work but it’s ours.
