Jakhora Kisan Ekta Farmer Producer Company Limited

Out here in Jakhora, near Jhansi, life moves at its own pace. We started Jakhora Kisan Ekta Farmer Producer Company Limited because it felt like the right thing to do for the people farming these lands. Nirajjakhora is where we keep our main address, and it's basically where we all gather to discuss what's happening in the fields. In Jhansi, the ground can be tough and the heat is no joke, so we have to stick together to get anything to grow. We are just a group of local guys who know the soil here. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that. If you come by, you'll see we are just regular people in simple clothes, probably talking about the latest rains or lack of them. The "Ekta" in our name means unity, and that's basically why we formed this. It's much easier to talk to the grain buyers or get supplies when we are one group instead of twenty separate people. We aren't looking to change the world, just to make sure our own families are doing okay from the farming work. It’s a lot of manual labor and long hours, but having this company makes the paperwork side of things a little more organized. Most of the time, we are out in the sun, but Nirajjakhora is where the official stuff happens when we need a roof over our heads. It can get pretty noisy when everyone starts talking at once, but we usually figure it out.
