Guppendra Farmer Producer Company Limited

Guppendra is basically a group of us farmers working together near Farah. We use Ashok Kumar's place in Sanora as our main spot to meet up. It's not a big company like you see in the cities. Mostly we are just talking about seeds, fertilizer, and whose crop is coming up first. Around here in Farah, everyone knows everyone's business anyway. We decided to put our names together so we could get better prices for what we grow. Farming is hard work and doing it by yourself is even harder these days. Some of us have been doing this since we were kids, just following what our fathers did. We don't have a website or a fancy logo, just the name on some papers. If you come by Sanora, you'll see us out in the fields or sitting under the trees when the sun is too much. The seasons come and go, and we just keep moving with them. Sometimes the crop is good, other years we just get by. We deal with the local markets mostly. It is simple work but it takes all day and sometimes all night during the harvest. We just wanted to have a way to stay organized as a group. That's why we registered as Guppendra. It’s a lot of paperwork we aren’t used to, but it helps. There is usually someone at the house if you need to talk about seeds or local sales.
