Vijayabai Zp Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down in Selu, near Kallam, we have our small setup for Vijayabai Zp Farmer Producer Company Limited. It is registered at Gokul Arjun Gaware’s house. This is a quiet part of Osmanabad where everyone knows their neighbor's business and what they are planting. We have been farming these lands for generations. Some of us grow grain and others focus on different crops depending on the year. It is a tough area sometimes because the water isn't always there when you need it. We decided to come together as a producer company to see if we could get a better handle on things. It is mostly about sharing the burden of the work. We meet up at the post in Selu to discuss what is happening with the local markets. The 413501 pin code is where we live and work every day. You won't find any corporate types here, just men and women with dirt under their fingernails. We don't have a big marketing plan. We just have our hands and our tools. Sometimes we sit and have tea while we talk about the price of seeds. It is just a normal part of life in Maharashtra for people like us. We keep things simple because that is what works. If the harvest is good, we are happy. If it is not, we just wait for the next season and try again. That is the rhythm of our lives here.
