Onda Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are based out of Singhati, which is in the Bankura district. Onda Farmers Producer Company Limited is a bit different from a regular company because it’s really about the farmers who live here. Bankura is known for its red soil and the weather can be quite tough, but the people here are very hard-working. We don't have a big corporate office with glass walls or air conditioning. Our place is very practical and simple. It's where we all meet up to discuss what we are growing this season and how we should sell it. It feels more like a community center than a business office sometimes. We deal with whatever the season brings us. If it’s a good harvest, everyone is happy and busy. If the rain fails, we sit together and try to figure out a backup plan. We don't use a lot of fancy technology or complicated software. It’s mostly ledger books, pens, and a lot of face-to-face talks. The town of Singhati is quiet compared to the big cities, and we actually prefer it that way. Most of us have known each other since we were small children. This company is just a way for us to pool our resources and make things a little easier for everyone in our village. There are no bosses wearing suits here. We all wear our regular clothes and get our hands dirty when there is work to be done.
