Dishaye Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based in the village of Majhraoo, out in the Etah district. You can find us at Suraj Singh’s place. The post office is in Pipehra. We are just a group of local farmers who decided to start a producer company together. It was not because we wanted to be big business people. We just realized that if we all work together, we might have a better chance of getting things right. Farming in Etah has its ups and downs. Sometimes the soil is perfect and other times it is a real struggle. We spend our time talking about what to plant next and how to get enough water to the fields. We do not have a professional office with air conditioning. It is just a regular room where we keep our files and meet up after a long day in the sun. We are not interested in sounding like a big corporation. We use simple English and talk about the things that matter to us, like the price of fertilizer or the cost of hiring a tractor. Our company is about the people in Majhraoo. We know each other's families and help out when someone is sick or falling behind. It is not about being the best; it is about surviving and maybe doing a bit better than we did last year. We keep things honest and work hard. That is really all there is to it. If you come by the village, you will find us in the fields.
