Yugparivartan Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our base is at Rajendra Singh Parmar’s house, specifically Makan No. 25 in Ward No. 01, over in Bichhua. Chhindwara is a big district, but Bichhua is where we call home. We’re a farmer producer company, but really, we’re just a bunch of neighbors. We named the business Yugparivartan Farmer Producer Company Limited. The name sounds like we’re trying to change the whole world, but mostly we’re just trying to change how we handle our own crops. Things are different now than they were when our fathers were farming. You have to be smarter about how you sell things and where you get your supplies. That’s why we got together. We spend most of our time out in the fields, but we meet at the house to talk business. It’s not a formal boardroom; it’s usually just us sitting around talking about the wheat or the corn. We’ve had some tough years lately with the weather being so unpredictable. Sometimes you feel like giving up when a storm wipes out a month of work in ten minutes. But then you see your neighbors still going, and you keep going too. We don’t have any fancy mission statements. We just want to make sure our kids can still live off this land if they want to. It’s hard work, and we aren't getting rich, but it’s an honest way to live. Chhindwara has been our home forever and we just want to do right by it.
