Saujanya Agro Industries Private Limited

Saujanya Agro Industries. We are over in Lashkarwadi, which is in Jalgaon, Dapoli. That’s in the Ratnagiri district. You’ll find us at Samadhan Sitaram Paith’s place. Ratnagiri is famous for its fruit, and being in Dapoli, we are right in the middle of it. We call ourselves an agro industry, but it’s really just a small-scale operation based in the village. We work with the local crops, mostly things that grow well in this coastal climate. Samadhan’s house is where the paperwork happens, but the real work is outside in the orchards and fields. It’s a bit of a trek to get out here, but it’s beautiful. We don’t have a big marketing team or anyone like that. We just talk to the people we know and sell what we produce. It’s a private company on paper, but it feels more like a family business. We’ve had to learn a lot about the industry side of things as we went along. It wasn't always easy to figure out the rules and the taxes, but we managed. People in Lashkarwadi are hard-working. We just wanted to give our local products a bit more of a name. It’s honest work and we take it one day at a time. If the harvest is good, we’re happy. If not, we just keep going and wait for the next season. Our industry is simple, based on what the land gives us and the seasons allow.
