Sikandradevyog Farmer Producer Company Limited

Sikandradevyog Farmer Producer Company Limited is based out of Sikandara, which is a small spot near Mungaoli. You can find us over at Ashok’s place. We aren't some big company from the city coming in to tell people what to do. Every one of us lives right here in the Ashok Nagar district and we have been farming these lands for as long as we can remember. The whole point of setting this up was just to have a common name so we could talk to traders and suppliers as a group. It makes things a bit easier when you aren't just one person trying to negotiate everything. We spend most of our time out in the fields, not sitting in an office. If you come by, you’ll probably see us covered in dust or checking on the crops. We don't use any fancy language or have big meetings with slides. We just meet up, have some tea, and talk about what needs to be done for the next sowing season. Sometimes the weather in Madhya Pradesh is good to us and sometimes it isn't, but being in this group means we don't have to face the bad years alone. It’s a practical way to live. We care about our land and our neighbors, and that’s pretty much all there is to it. We keep things honest and work hard every day to make it work.
