Agragati Women Agro Producer Company Limited

Our group, Agragati Women Agro Producer Company Limited, is based out in the village of Dakshin Joykrishnapur. We are in the South 24 Parganas district. The nearest post office is Nandakumar and the police station is Raidighi. It’s a rural area, very different from the cities. This is a company run by women from the local community. We all live around here and know the land. We work together to manage our crops and sell what we grow. It’s not a fancy office. Most of our meetings happen in a simple room or even outside if the weather is nice. We talk about seeds, fertilizer, and the prices we are getting at the market. It’s hard work being in the fields all day and then coming in to handle the paperwork. We don't have many employees; we just do it ourselves. We started this because we wanted to have more control over our own farming. Sometimes the rains are too heavy and sometimes it’s too dry, but we help each other through it. We are just a group of neighbors trying to make a living from the earth. People in Joykrishnapur know us. We’ve been doing this for a while and we don't plan on stopping. It’s just how we live our lives every day. We hope to keep our fields green and our business steady for the families here.
