About Rakesh
Rakesh Patidar has been farming for over 14 years. Throughout this journey, he has faced many ups and downs. With sheer perseverance and determination, he has overcome them all. Recently the COVID crisis has brought challenges that have put the farming community into a peril like never before. Rakesh lives in Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, with a family of eight and needs cash immediately to meet the needs of the upcoming sowing season. With the supply chains disrupted, he has not been able to sell his products at a fair price. To avoid distress selling of the crops, he is holding the crops at an FPO. The loan amount will help him with the much-needed cash flow to meet his input needs for the Kharif season and to tide through until things get better.
