Marihan Farmers Producer Company Limited

In the Khutari area of Madihan, you can find us at Rahul Singh’s place. We are the Marihan Farmers Producer Company Limited. Madihan is a place where the landscape really dictates how you live and work. We are a bunch of farmers who decided that we should probably have a formal name so we could deal with the government and the banks more easily. Rahul’s house serves as the main point where we all gather to figure things out. It’s not a fancy setup. There are usually a few bags of grain sitting around and some old registers on the table. We spend our time talking about the water situation and the quality of the soil this year. We don't have a big staff or people in suits. We are the staff. We do the lifting, the counting, and the worrying ourselves. It’s a very direct way of doing business. When the sun is hot, we sit in the shade and talk; when the rain comes, we check the fields. We aren't trying to change the world, just trying to make sure the farmers in our little part of Madihan get a fair shake. It’s honest, it’s a bit messy at times, and it is exactly what it looks like from the outside—just locals trying to make a living and keep the farm going through another year.
