Murarai Farmers Producer Company Limited

Murarai Farmers Producer Company Limited is based in the village of Dhananjoypur. Anirul Islam and Khairul Basar started this whole thing from Paschimpara. It is mostly just us farmers trying to get the best out of the land. We do not have much, but we have the soil. We talk about the weather every single morning over some tea. If the rain comes late, we all start to worry. If it is too much, we worry even more. That is just how the farming life is around here. We pooled our resources together because doing everything alone was getting way too hard. We handle the heavy sacks and the transport ourselves. Sometimes the trucks do not show up on time and we have to sit and wait in the heat for hours. It is a simple, quiet life in Dhananjoypur. We are not doing anything fancy, just growing what we can and hoping the market price stays fair for once. Most of the guys here have been working these same fields since they were little kids. Anirul’s house is where we meet to sign the papers or just to figure out who is doing what for the week. It is not a big office with fans and leather chairs, just a place where we get things done. We care about the work and making sure the crops do not fail. It is a lot of sweating and waiting, but that is the work we chose to do.
