Mechalsuta Farmers Producer Company Limited

Mechalsuta Farmers Producer Company Limited is based out in Narmada district. To be exact, we are in Besna village, Dediyapada. Our place is H 422 in Nischal Faliyu. If you know this part of Gujarat, you know it’s a lot of greenery and hills. It is a bit of a drive to get out here, but this is where the farmers are, so this is where we need to be. We are a group of local people working together. It’s not like a regular company with a boss in a suit. We meet up in the faliyu and talk about the crops, the weather, and the prices. The office is really just a room in the village where we keep our records. Sometimes we sit outside under the trees because it’s cooler than being inside under a fan. The roads around Dediyapada can be a bit rough after the monsoon, but we manage. Everyone in the village knows each other, so there is no need for big signs or advertisements. People just walk over when they have a question or need to register something for the producer company. We focus on what’s growing in the fields around Narmada. It’s hard work and the sun is really hot during the day. We aren't doing anything fancy, just trying to get a better deal for the farmers in our community through this collective effort.
