Shetraja Farmer Producer Company Limited

Shetraja Farmer Producer Company Limited is based out of Wadala in Chimur. We’re mostly just a group of local people from around here in Chandrapur. Tukaram Pawar’s place is where we started things off, specifically at house number 1624/1. It isn't a fancy office or anything like that, just a spot where we can sit down and figure out the farming business together. Most of us grew up on these lands, so we know how the weather works in this part of the state. Sometimes it gets really hot and the crops struggle, and that’s why we thought it made sense to get together as a company. It is easier to deal with the markets when you aren't doing it all by yourself. We spend a lot of time talking about seeds and fertilizers and what the prices are looking like in the local mandi. It is a lot of hard work, honestly. Some days are better than others, and you just have to take the bad ones as they come. We don’t have some big corporate plan, we just want to make sure the work we do on the farm actually pays off for the families involved. If you come by Wadala, you’ll see we are just regular folks trying to make a living from the soil. It’s pretty quiet out here mostly. We try to keep things simple and just focus on what needs doing for the next season. There is always something to fix or a field to check on, so we stay busy enough.
