Baikunthapur Farmers Producer Company Limited

Baikunthapur Farmers Producer Company Limited is based out of Rangdhamal, at Smt. Mithu Chowdhury’s house. She and her husband Rabindra Nath Chowdhury have been part of the community for a long time. We aren't a big operation with a lobby or anything. It’s just a house and some local farmers trying to get by. We focus on what grows best in this soil. Around here, everyone knows everyone, so we don't need to put on an act. We get the seeds, we plant them, and we hope for good rain. Farming is hard, and being part of this company just helps us stay connected. We spend our mornings in the fields and our evenings talking about the prices we might get for the vegetables or the grain. It’s a practical way of living. We don't have a big mission statement written on the wall. We just want to grow things and make sure the work doesn't go to waste. Mithu Chowdhury keeps track of the members and the paperwork, which is a big help because most of us would rather be outside than sitting at a desk. We are just folks from Rangdhamal doing the same things our fathers did, but now we do it together as a company. It’s not fancy, but it works for us. We just keep our heads down and keep the farming going day to day as best as we can.
