Borkhola Aquaculture Farmers Producercompany Limited

Borkhola Aquaculture Farmers Producercompany Limited is based in the village of Kailani, which is part of the Gramdudhpatil Grant. We are at the place of Punam Satnami. The area is also called Latigram or Lathgram in Cachar. We are all about fish farming here. Most of us have ponds and we spend our days making sure the fish are healthy and the water is right. It’s a damp kind of job and we are often covered in mud or water, but that is just how it is when you work with aquaculture. We started the company because we were all doing the same thing separately and it made sense to join up. We use Punam’s place as our main point of contact for the company. It’s not a big corporate headquarters, just a house in the village where we gather to discuss things like fish feed and harvest times. The roads here can be a bit rough, especially when it rains, so getting the fish to the market takes some planning. We aren't trying to be the biggest company out there; we just want to make sure our families are supported by our fishing work. It is honest work and it’s what we know. We’ve been living in this part of Cachar all our lives and the company is just a new way for us to keep doing our old jobs together. We mostly just focus on the ponds and the fish every day.
