Bahera Farmers Fed Producer Company Limited

You can find our group in Gram Pohadi, which is over in Darbhanga. We go by Bahera Farmers Fed Producer Company Limited. It’s pretty simple here. We are just a collective of farmers from the local area who decided that we should probably work together more often. Darbhanga has some good land, but getting the crops to market can be a real pain. We spend a lot of time talking about roads and trucks and who is buying what. We don’t have a fancy office with air conditioning. Usually, we are just sitting outside in the village, going over our plans for the next harvest. It’s a practical way to live. We’ve all been doing this for a long time, so we know the cycles of the seasons pretty well. Some days are better than others. When the floods come, it can be a real mess, but we help each other out. That is the whole point of having this company. It's not about making a huge profit for some boss in a city; it's about the people here in Pohadi getting a little more for their hard work. We aren't perfect, and sometimes we make mistakes with the business side of things. But we are honest about it and we keep trying. That’s just how we do things in our village. We aren't trying to impress anyone, just trying to keep the farms running and the families fed. It's a lot of work but it's worth it.
