Mungpoo Farmers Producer Company Limited

Mungpoo Farmers Producer Company Limited is based in Simlay Dhura, which is in the Mungpoo area. We fall under the Takdah block in the hills. Life up here is quite different from the plains. The air is thinner and the hills are steep, which makes farming a real challenge. We work across the Ranglirangliot area, mostly dealing with the crops that grow well in this cool climate. Most of us have lived in these hills all our lives. We know the paths and we know how the weather changes in an instant. This company was formed because we wanted to have a collective voice for the farmers in Simlay Dhura. We don't have a big, fancy office building. Our meetings usually happen wherever there is a bit of flat ground or in someone’s house. We talk about the challenges of moving goods down the hills and how to keep our plants healthy when the mist rolls in. It’s a lot of walking and a lot of heavy lifting. We aren't interested in sounding corporate or using complicated words. We just want to make sure our hill community can sustain itself. We take care of the land because it’s the only one we have. It’s honest work, and we do it together as a team of local growers who care about our home. We keep things simple and just keep working the slopes.
