Paripalan Farmer Producer Companylimited

Paripalan Farmer Producer Companylimited is based in a village called Aitawade Chowk, which is in the Bhilwadi area of the Palus Taluka in Sangli. Our main spot is House Number 1706 in Baheril Galli. If you come by, you’ll see it’s a very traditional neighborhood where everyone is involved in agriculture in some way. We are a producer company, which basically means a bunch of us local farmers decided to combine our efforts. It’s much easier to buy things like fertilizer or hire a tractor when you are doing it as a group. Our office isn't much to look at—it’s just a room where we keep our registers and wait for members to drop by. We spend a lot of time discussing the weather because in Sangli, the rain can make or break your whole year. There is always someone sitting here talking about the price of sugar cane or grapes. We don't have a professional manager or anything like that. We just take turns handling the paperwork and making sure the bills get paid. It’s a slow process sometimes, and we make mistakes with the forms now and then, but we are learning as we go. The goal is just to keep our farms going and make sure the next generation has something to work with. It is simple, hard work, and we are proud to do it right here in our own village.
