Theekariya Kisan Agro Producer Company Limited

Theekariya Kisan Agro Producer Company Limited is based out of Baran, specifically in the Anta area near Sumantikriya. We operate from Jagdish’s place, who is the son of Amer Lal. We are a small group of agricultural workers and landholders who thought it was better to pool our resources. In Baran, we have our own way of doing things. The weather can be a bit unpredictable, so having a group helps when things get tough. We handle a variety of crops that grow in this part of Rajasthan. It isn't a high-tech operation. We mostly use our old notebooks and sit together to figure out the numbers. Sometimes we argue about when to sell and when to wait, but that’s natural when everyone has a stake in it. We are not interested in sounding like a big corporation because we aren't one. We are just local people who know the soil here. If you walk through the fields in Anta, you will see the kind of work we do every day. It’s dirty, it’s tiring, but it’s our life. We want to make sure the farmers in our little circle don't get left behind. We don't have any fancy promises, just the fact that we are working together to get by. Most days you’ll find Jagdish or one of the others around the house talking shop.
