Kishan Agri Biotech

Out here in District Barmer, things can be quite dry, but we make it work. Our place is in the village and post office of Taratara Math, which is in Tehsil Chohtan. It’s a bit out of the way for most people, but the local farmers know exactly where we are. We deal with agricultural stuff, trying to help people get the most out of this sandy soil. The weather is the biggest challenge we face. When the heat gets really bad, we mostly stay inside during the middle of the day. Our office is a simple one-room setup with some samples of seeds and fertilizers on the shelves. There’s usually a few bags of stuff sitting by the door waiting to be picked up. We don’t have a big staff, just a few of us who know the land well. We talk to the neighbors about what they’re planting and what problems they’re having with their crops. It’s not a corporate environment at all. We sit on plastic chairs and drink tea while we figure out the orders. Sometimes the dust storms make everything a mess, and we have to spend hours cleaning up. But that’s just living in the desert. We’ve been part of this community for a long time and we plan to stay right here in Taratara Math. It’s a quiet life but we stay busy with the seasons.
