J.K Undal Farmer Producer Company Limited

J.K Undal is run out of Janardhan Undal’s home in the village of Chiwra. We are in the Malegaon taluka of Washim district. It’s a pretty typical farming community here, nothing too flashy. We started the company because we needed a way to buy fertilizers and seeds in bulk to save some money. It’s just how the economy works now, and we had to adapt to the changing times. Our days are spent mostly checking on the fields and then coming back to the house to handle the phone calls and the books, which can be a bit of a headache. It’s a small operation, just a group of local farmers who really trust each other. We don't have any fancy equipment or a fleet of trucks or anything like that. Most of the time, we are just trying to figure out how to get our produce to the market without spending way too much on transport costs. Washim is a good place for farming, but it has its challenges like anywhere else, especially with the rain. We aren't trying to be the biggest company in India or anything. We just want to do right by the people in Chiwra and make sure everyone gets a fair shake. It’s honest work, and it keeps us busy from morning until night. Sometimes we get frustrated with the rules and all the government taxes, but we just keep pushing forward because this is our life and our land. We’ve lived here forever and don’t plan on going anywhere else.
