Amargaram Farmers Producer Company Limited

Amargaram Farmers Producer Company Limited is based in Bikramdihi village. Our office is just House No - 5. We are in the Ranibandh area of Bankura. This group was formed by us farmers who live around here. We were tired of trying to do everything alone. Now we use this company to coordinate our efforts. It’s a very rural area. Dhagara is our post office. We spend most of our time out in the dirt. We grow a variety of things depending on what the soil can handle. Bankura soil is a bit different from other parts of Bengal, so we have to be careful. We aren't a big corporation with people in suits. We wear our work clothes and meet up when we can. The house where we keep the records is simple. We don't have computers for everything, a lot of it is still written down in books. It’s a slow process sometimes to get everyone to agree on a plan. But we are neighbors, so we work it out. We just want to make sure we can sell our produce without getting a bad deal. If you come to Bikramdihi and ask for the farmers group, someone will point you to House No - 5. We are usually there in the afternoons after the morning work is done. It is not a flashy place, but it serves us well enough for what we need.
