Deodhar Farmers Producer Company Limited

Up here in Sambalpur, specifically in the Jamankira area, we have set up Deodhar Farmers Producer Company Limited. Our spot is at House Number 09, known as Ranjit Bag House in Pada Chinimahul. It’s a quiet enough place in Badarama, and we have been operating from here for a while now. The group is made up of farmers from around the district who wanted to handle things a bit more directly. There are plenty of challenges when it comes to farming in this part of Orissa, but we find that working together makes the load a bit lighter for everyone involved. We aren't trying to be some big corporate entity; we are just regular people who know a lot about the soil and the crops that grow best in this climate. The house we work out of is easy to find if you know the neighborhood well. Usually, someone is around to answer questions or help out with the seeds and the planning. We spend our mornings checking on the progress of the fields and our afternoons dealing with the transport and the buyers. It is a long day most of the time, especially when the rains are late or the sun is too hot. We don’t put on any airs about what we do. We just focus on the task at hand and try to make sure everything runs as smooth as it can, even when things get a little chaotic during the peak seasons.
