Bir Naraina Progressive Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find us at number 45 in Village Bir Naraina. That is where we keep our records for Bir Naraina Progressive Farmers Producer Company Limited. The word progressive in our name might make us sound like we have everything figured out, but we are still learning every day. We are just a group of local farmers who wanted to try something different from the old ways. Instead of selling everything individually, we thought we would pool our resources together. It makes sense when you think about it. The village is small and everyone knows everyone else’s business anyway. We talk over tea about what the government is doing or why the pest control did not work last month. It is a very honest way of doing things. No one is trying to be better than anyone else here. The roads here are a bit rough but we don't mind. We just want to make sure the work we do in the sun actually pays off. There is a lot of paperwork which none of us really likes, but we manage to get it done. Sometimes the kids help us with the computer stuff when we get stuck. It is a group effort, really. We do not have a big story to tell. We just grew up here, we farm here, and now we are trying to run this company. It is a bit of a struggle sometimes but we keep at it.
