Devgad Taluka Mango Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our little setup is at House No 35/B in Pural, which is right in the heart of the Devgad taluka. If you know this area, you know it's all about the mangoes. During the season, everything here gets pretty hectic. We started this producer company because we wanted to have a bit more control over where our fruit goes. Sitting here in Post Pural, we spend a lot of time looking at trees and worrying about the flowering or the unseasonal rain. The house serves as our main meeting point. It’s not some polished office with a receptionist. Usually, there’s a few of us sitting around a wooden table talking about crates and transport trucks. We don’t use any big fancy words to describe what we do. We just grow mangoes, pack them, and try to get them to the city without them getting spoiled or sold for nothing. It’s hard work, and your hands usually stay sticky or dirty most of the day. The locals know where to find us if they have a few extra baskets or if they need help with their own groves. We’ve had some good years and some really tough ones, but that’s just how farming is in Devgad. We take it one day at a time, keeping the records as best as we can and making sure the crates are ready for the next truck.
