Siroseujiya Farmers Producer Company Limited

Out in Dhemaji, the land is everything. We are based over at Raju Patir’s place in Karsang Nagargogamikh1, right near Gogamukh. It is a bit of a trek to get there if the roads are bad after a storm. Our group, Siroseujiya Farmers Producer Company Limited, came about because a few of us realized we were all facing the same problems with our crops. Instead of everyone struggling on their own, we figured we would just work together. There is no big secret to what we do, we just plant, wait for the rain, and hope the harvest is good enough to pay the bills. The office is really just a room with some chairs where we sit and figure out who is doing what for the week. You won't find any shiny signs or people in suits here. We are usually covered in some bit of dirt from the morning’s work. Dhemaji is a tough place for farming sometimes because of the floods, but we know the land well. We have lived here our whole lives, so we just take it as it comes. It is mostly about getting the produce to the market without it spoiling. We try to help each other out with tools or extra hands when someone is falling behind. It is not always easy, and some days are longer than others, but it is what we know how to do best.
