Upendra & Raushan Agro Food Processing Private Limited

We are just a group of people working out of Laddu Singh’s place here in Minapur. It is a quiet spot in Safapur, right in the Matihani block of Begusarai. Upendra and Raushan started this food processing thing because there was so much grain around and not enough local places to clean or pack it. Most days, the yard is full of big jute bags. The sun gets really hot in Bihar during the summer months, but the work doesn't stop for us. We don’t have a big fancy office with air conditioning. It’s mostly just us handling the machines and making sure the food is moved out to the markets on time. Sometimes the power goes out for hours, and we just sit around and wait, talking about the crops and the weather. People in the village know us by name. We don't do much advertising because everyone around here already knows where to find the agro food unit. We just try to get the work done before it gets too dark. The roads in Begusarai can be a bit bumpy for the trucks, especially when it rains, but we manage. It is a simple operation. We process whatever comes from the local fields nearby. It keeps us busy all year round. We just want to make sure the stuff we pack is what we say it is. There are no big corporate speeches here. Just Laddu Singh, Upendra, Raushan, and a few others trying to make a living.
