Talbhet Adrak Evam Haldi Producer Company Limited

Our business is in Bhadouna, which is over near Rajawan. We mainly work with ginger and turmeric. Brijesh Kumar is the one who handles the organizing from his home. These two crops take a long time to mature, so we have to be very patient. Turmeric is particularly messy and leaves yellow stains on everything it touches, but it grows really well in our soil. We are just a small group of local farmers who decided to team up. We don't have an office building with a sign. We mostly just meet in Brijesh’s yard or under the big tree near the fields. There is a whole lot of digging involved in what we do. Ginger roots can be quite hard to get out of the ground. We spend hours cleaning the soil off the crops after they are pulled up. It is mostly manual work. We don't own any of those big, expensive machines. We just use our hands and basic tools. Sometimes the market prices drop and it makes us nervous, but that is the life of a farmer. We don't have a logo or anyone to do marketing for us. We just sell what we produce. People know our stuff is good because they see us working out there every single day. It’s a quiet life in Talbhet and we are just trying to keep things going.
