Jay Janardhan Farmers Producer Company Limited

Jay Janardhan Farmers Producer Company Limited is situated over in Khamgaon, which is in the Aurangabad district. We are at number 205, using the space provided by Prakash Vishwanath Gaike. It’s a pretty standard spot for this part of the country. You won't find any shiny signs or huge advertisements out front when you drive by. We just have our name on the door and a lot of work on the tables inside. Khamgaon is a place where everyone is tied to the land in one way or another. We started this because we saw a need for the local farmers to have a collective name when dealing with the markets. It’s not a complicated idea, just a group of us trying to get better results for the crops we grow. The office at 431103 is usually a bit dusty because of the roads nearby, and there is always someone coming in to talk about seeds or the latest market rates. We spend a lot of time on the phone or out in the fields checking on the progress of the season. Prakash is often around to help sort through the logistics of the company. It’s a lot of small-scale coordination that takes up most of our hours. We don't really do the whole corporate thing with fancy meetings. Instead, we just sit around, look at the numbers, and try to make sure everyone is on the same page for the next harvest cycle.
