Raitha Sinchana Farmer Producer Company Limited

If you’re looking for Raitha Sinchana Farmer Producer Company Limited, you just need to find Basavaraja. He’s the son of Channappa and he lives in Anabur, over in Jagalurur. That’s where we keep our main office, right there with him. We’re a small group from the village. Most of us have known each other since we were small. Farming in Anabur is what our fathers did and what we do now. We decided to make it official with this company name so we could buy things in bigger amounts. It saves us a little bit of money here and there. We don't have a fancy sign or a paved parking lot. It’s just the dirt road and the houses. We talk about the rain a lot, like everyone else around Jagalurur. Some years the crops are good and we feel okay. Other years, it’s a struggle. We don't pretend to be something we're not. We’re just men and women who work in the fields. Basavaraja handles a lot of the paperwork because he’s good at it. The rest of us focus on the plants. It’s a simple setup. If you come by, you’ll probably see us sitting under a tree or inside the house talking about the next season. We’re just trying to make it work for the families here in Anabur. It's not a fast life, but we stay busy with the cycles of the year. We look out for each other when the work gets too heavy.
