Drakshbhumi Agro Farmer Producer Companylimited

Our group is based in Dongarsoni, which is in the Tasgaon area. If you know this region, you know it’s famous for grapes. That is why we called it Drakshbhumi. We are at 66 A in the village. It’s a very busy place during the grape season. Everyone is working long hours then, often starting before the sun is even up. We formed this company to help the local growers manage their fruit better and find decent buyers. We aren't some big city firm with fancy ideas. Most of us grew up in these vineyards and know how much work goes into a single vine. The office is just a plain room where we keep our files and meet up for tea. We don't use big words or have complicated rules for our members. We just want to make sure the grapes get to where they need to go and the farmers get paid fairly. Tasgaon can be a tough place to work when the heat is high, but we are used to it. We deal with the logistics and the heavy paperwork that comes with farming. It’s not glamorous work. There is a lot of dust and many phone calls to traders. We don't have a receptionist; usually, whoever is nearest to the door answers it. We keep it simple and honest. If things are going bad with the crop, we talk about it openly with everyone. We are just a bunch of locals trying to make the grape business work a bit better for everyone in Dongarsoni. That's all we do.
