Kolage Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited

We operate out of House Number 16 in Chincholi, which is in the Paithan area of Aurangabad. Kolage Patil Farmer Producer Company Limited is really just a bunch of us from around here coming together. We grew up on these farms, so we know the challenges of this specific soil and the local weather. We didn't want to just keep struggling on our own, so we formed this company to help each other out. Our office isn't much to look at—just a place to keep our ledgers and sit down for a meeting now and then. It’s usually loud and busy, especially when it’s time to move the harvest. We don't have a marketing team or any corporate polish. We talk like regular people because that’s who we are. We deal with local crops and try to find the best ways to get things done without wasting money. Sometimes things go wrong, a machine breaks or a deal falls through, and we just have to fix it and move on. That’s just life in Chincholi. We care about our families and our village, and this company is our way of trying to make things a little more stable. We don't make big promises. We just show up every day, do the work that needs doing, and try to support the other farmers who are part of our group.
