Narpatganj Farmer Producer Company Limited

Up in Araria, there’s a small place called Madhura. It’s more of a Tola, really. That’s where you’ll find Narpatganj Farmer Producer Company Limited. We use Suresh Kumar Gupta’s place as our main point of contact. Being this far up in Bihar, near the 854335 zip code, things feel a bit different than the bigger towns. Life revolves around the seasons and what we can grow in the dirt. We aren’t some polished outfit. We’re just a bunch of neighbors who decided to form a company to make the farming side of things a bit easier to handle. It’s mostly just us talking over tea and then heading out to the fields. The roads can be a bit rough getting into the village, but we are always there. We don’t use a lot of big words or have a fancy office. It’s just a room with some registers and a place to sit. Everyone knows everyone else in Madhura, so we don’t need to explain ourselves much. We just do the work. If the crops are good, we are happy. If they aren’t, we just try again next time. That is the way it goes with the Narpatganj group. We are just local people in Araria trying to keep the farming tradition going without making things too complicated for ourselves or the other farmers. It is a long day in the sun, but it is our life.
