Maa Balari Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based in Kishanpur Gaon Chinor, which is a village near Dabra in Gwalior. The company is called Maa Balari Farmer Producer Company Limited. We use Ram Sewak’s place as our main point of contact. Being out here in Madhya Pradesh, we are surrounded by fields on all sides. That is really what our lives are about. Our pincode is 475110, though most people just ask for directions at the local tea shop. We are a group of local farmers trying to work together. It’s not easy work, and some years are better than others. We don't have a fancy office with air conditioning. We mostly meet outside or in a small room at Ram Sewak’s. We talk about the wheat or the mustard crops and how the market is looking. It feels right to have a name for our group now. We’ve all known each other since we were kids, so there isn't much formality between us. We just want to make sure our farms stay productive so our families are okay. Dabra is the closest big town where we go to sell things. It’s a long day when we have to go there, but it's part of the routine. We are just regular people doing our best with what we have. Sometimes the tractor breaks down or the rain doesn't come, but we just keep going anyway because that's what we've always done.
