Kushmandi Annadata Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited

Kushmandi is where we live and work. Our company, Kushmandi Annadata Agro Farmers Producer Company Limited, is basically just the local people here getting organized. We don't have a long history of being a big business. We are just farmers who have spent years in the dirt. When people ask what we do, we tell them we grow things. That is the long and short of it. Kushmandi is a place where agriculture is the main thing everyone talks about. You can't walk down the street without seeing someone heading to their plot or coming back with a load of crops. We decided to form this company because it felt like the right move for the community. It’s not about being fancy or having a corporate image. Half the time, our boots are covered in mud when we are discussing our plans. We deal with the usual problems like high costs for fertilizers or the market prices going up and down for no reason. It’s frustrating sometimes, but we are used to it. We don't have a big staff, just the local folks who put in the hours. We don't have any scripted speeches or polished presentations. If you want to know about us, you just look at the fields around Kushmandi. The work speaks for itself, and we just try to keep the business side of things from getting too messy. It’s a quiet life, mostly, centered around the seasons.
