Purnakath Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is based in Pimpal Pura, which is in the Chandur Bazar area. We operate from the home of Shri Hafijkhan Yakubkhan. We are a group of women who decided to join up and form Purnakath Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited. Most of us have been farming our whole lives, just like our parents did. It’s a tough job and sometimes it feels like nobody is looking out for the small farmers. So, we thought if we worked as one group, we might have a better chance of getting things done. We meet up at the house to discuss what we are going to plant and how to deal with the buyers. It’s not a formal office with desks and computers everywhere. It’s more of a place where we can sit and talk while we sort out the paperwork. There is always a lot to do, from checking the soil to making sure we have enough supplies for the next season. We don't have a lot of money for big advertisements, so we just rely on each other. It’s a very local thing, and we know everyone in the village. Sometimes we have good harvests and sometimes the weather ruins everything, but we keep going. We just want to make sure the women here have a way to support their homes. It’s honest work, even if it’s exhausting. We focus on the daily chores and the reality of life in Chandur Bazar.
