Mavla Farmer Producer Company Limited

Mavla Farmer Producer Company is located in the Nigade area of Haveli Taluka. We are registered through Dattatraya L Nalavade’s place, which is part of the Mulshi billing unit near Pune. Even though we are close to a big city like Pune, our lives are still very much tied to the seasons and the land. Most of us here have been farming for as long as we can remember. We chose the name Mavla because it has deep roots in our history. The company was born out of a need to handle the business side of our farms better. We grow things like vegetables and grains, depending on what the weather allows. The hills around here can be beautiful but they make for some tough farming conditions. We meet at Dattatraya’s place to figure out how to transport our goods to the city markets without spending too much on fuel. It’s a constant juggle. We don't have a big corporate structure. It’s just us, the farmers, trying to make things work. We talk about seed prices and the cost of labor. Sometimes the rains come at the wrong time and we have to change all our plans overnight. It’s not a polished operation. There are always muddy tracks and dusty registers around. We just do the work that needs to be done and try to keep things moving forward for our families and neighbors.
