Jivarag Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited

Jivarag Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited is located in Takli Jiwrag. This is a small village in the Sillod area. We run things from Namdev Phuke’s place. It’s a very rural area, so we are surrounded by fields on all sides. Most of us have been farming our whole lives, so we know the struggles. We started this company to help the local farmers get a better grip on their sales and supplies. It’s not a fancy operation. We meet under the shade of the trees or in the front room of Namdev’s house. There is always work to be done, whether it’s checking the quality of the seeds or figuring out the transport to the city. We don't use big words or have complicated meetings. We just talk like neighbors. Sometimes the crops are good, sometimes they aren’t, but we stick together. Sillod is a busy taluka but Takli is quiet. We like the peace here. We don’t have a receptionist or a waiting room. If someone comes by, we just pull up a chair and offer them some water or tea. It’s about being helpful and keeping the farm life going. We are just a group of people from the village trying to do our best with what we have. It’s honest and it’s local. We don't want to be anywhere else but right here in the heart of the fields.
