Rajamudi Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down in Makavalli village, we have been working the land for generations. Our spot is out in Padavalahippe Post, in the Holenarasipura area of Hassan. It's quiet out here mostly, except when it's time to harvest. A bunch of us farmers decided to pool our resources because doing everything alone was becoming a headache. We mainly focus on what grows best in this soil. We chose the name Rajamudi because it means something to the history of this region. Our office, if you can call it that, is right here in the village where everyone can find us. We don't spend much time behind desks. Usually, we are checking on the crops or talking to the other members about what needs doing next. Life in Hassan follows the seasons. When the rains come, we're busy, and when it's dry, we're preparing. It's not a fancy operation by any means. Just a group of people trying to make a living from the ground. We have a lot of meetings under the trees or in the small shed we use for storage. Sometimes we argue about the best way to do things, but we always figure it out. It’s about making sure the families in the village have what they need to keep going year after year. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to farm better together and keep the tradition of our local grains alive for the next bunch of kids growing up here in the district.
