About Naxalbari Organic Farmers Producercompany Limited – Agriculture & Farming in Darjeeling
If you go down to Mallabari in Naxalbari, you’ll find us at Jamil Aktar’s place. It’s a quiet area compared to the main town, and that’s how we like it. Naxalbari Organic Farmers Producercompany Limited is basically a collective effort. It’s not just one person running a show; it’s a bunch of us who live around here trying to do something better with our land. We spend a lot of time sitting on the porch or in the small office space discussing how the crops are doing. The air is better here than in the cities, and we try to keep our farming that way too. Jamil has been around here forever, so his place was the natural choice for a home base. We don't have a lot of expensive equipment or fancy branding. Most of what we do is based on what we’ve learned from our fathers and what we see working in the fields. It’s a lot of walking through the rows of plants and checking the leaves. We have meetings that sometimes go on too long because everyone has a different opinion on the weather or the soil. But that’s how a producer company works. It’s a bit messy and there’s always someone coming by with a tractor or a bag of something to show us. We just want to keep the chemicals out of our food and make sure the farmers get a fair deal. It’s simple, really. Mallabari is home, and this is our daily life.
