Uttar Chakowa Kheti Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are basically just a group of local farmers from here in Alipurduar. The company is called Uttar Chakowa Kheti Farmers Producer Company Limited, which is quite a long name when you have to write it out. We are based out of Subhash Oraon’s place in the Uttar Chakoyakheti area, specifically in a spot called Naothoartari. Most of us have lived here in Jalpaiguri for our whole lives. We started this because we wanted to have a better way to handle our crops together instead of everyone just doing their own thing and struggling. It is not like some big corporate office with people in suits. We are usually out in the fields or meeting up at the house to talk about seeds or what the weather is doing to the harvest. Being in West Bengal, specifically this northern part, we have our own way of doing things. Sometimes the roads are a bit rough to get to Naothoartari, but we manage just fine. We just try to help each other out with the farming work and making sure we get a decent price for what we grow. There are quite a few of us involved now. We don't really do big advertisements or anything like that. People around here just know us as the local farmers' group. We keep our records at the 736204 pin code area and just take it one day at a time. It is a lot of work but it feels right.
