Maa Balasundari Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is based out of Chotta Chowk, specifically at Balram Singh Rana’s place in Block 27. It is a farmer producer company, which basically means a bunch of us got together to make things easier for everyone working the land around here. We aren't some high-end firm in a glass building in the city. We meet in the office or sometimes just out in the street to talk about crop prices and what the weather is doing to the fields. Being in a local spot like Chotta Chowk makes it easy for the members to drop by whenever they have a concern or just want to share some news. It’s a lot of coordination between different people. One day we are looking at fertilizer and the next we are trying to figure out how to transport the produce without it spoiling in the heat. It is honest work and can be quite stressful when the market isn't going our way. We don't have fancy titles or big speeches. We just want the farmers here to get a fair shake. Everyone puts in their bit and we try to manage the collective resources as best as we can. It’s not always smooth sailing. There are plenty of disagreements about which direction to take, but that’s what happens when real people are involved. We take it one day at a time, focusing on the current season and what needs to get into the ground to keep the farms going.
