Dausa Harshana Farmer Producer Company Limited

If you head down Agra Road in Dausa, you’ll find us near the Shreeram Dharam Kante. We operate out of Vishram Singh Gurjar’s house. He’s the son of Ishwarmal, and the family has been here forever. Dausa Harshana Farmer Producer Company was set up because a lot of us farmers were tired of getting the short end of the stick. We gather near the weighing scale, the dharam kante, because that’s where all the action is anyway. You can hear the big trucks rolling by all day long on the highway. We talk about the market prices and whose well is running dry. It’s a very local thing. We aren't businessmen in the traditional sense; we are people who grow things. We helps each other with seeds and selling what we harvest. Sometimes the meetings are long and everyone talks at once, so it gets a bit chaotic. But we get things done. We don’t have any fancy mission statements. We just want to make sure the people in our community get a fair deal for their hard work. Life on the Agra Road is dusty and noisy, but it’s home. We use simple tools and try to keep our costs down. It’s a practical way to live. If you see us by the kante, stop by for a tea.
