Nagurhat Farmers Producer Company Limited

We set up Nagurhat Farmers Producer Company Limited to help the folks around Shalbari and Boxirhat. Our office is basically at Rameshwar Sen’s place in the village. We are all farmers here, so we know how tough it can be to get a good deal for the crops. We mostly work with the people in Nagurhat to collect what they grow and find a way to sell it together. It’s better than everyone trying to do it on their own. We don't have a polished office with air conditioning. Usually, we just sit on the porch and talk about the weather and the market prices. The internet is slow out here, so we do most things the old-fashioned way with paper and pens. It’s a slow process getting everyone organized. Some farmers are skeptical, and others are eager to join in. We deal with whatever is growing in the fields at the time, like jute or grain. The rainy season makes the paths to Shalbari almost impossible to use with a heavy load. We just do the best we can with the tools we have. We aren't some big corporation with a mission statement. We just want to make sure the families here can keep their farms going. It’s hard work and the margins are thin, but it's our life. We just take it one day at a time, making sure the harvest doesn't go to waste and everyone gets their fair share.
