Badabon Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is located in Dakshin Garankata, right along the 4 No Garankata Road in Kultali. Being in South Parganas, we are close to the marshy areas and the weather really dictates our work. Badabon Farmers Producer Company Limited was started because a lot of us farmers needed a way to work together instead of trying to do everything alone. It is a collective effort. We have a small office where we meet to talk about the crops and who is growing what this season. Sometimes the meetings go on for hours because everyone has a different opinion. We deal with whatever grows well in this salty soil near the coast. It is not easy work and the sun is usually very hot. You can find us at the office most mornings before it gets too humid. We don't have a big marketing team or anything like that. We just focus on the actual farming and making sure our members get a fair deal for their hard work. Life in Kultali moves at its own pace. We spend a lot of time checking on the fields and making sure the irrigation is working right. It is a community thing here in Garankata. If you come by, just ask for the farmer's group and someone will point you to our building. We are just local people trying to make the most of what we have. It is not always perfect, but we keep at it day after day.
