Mannu Progressive Kisan Producer Company Limited

You can find us in VPO Teek, which is out in the Kaithal area. Krishan Singh is the person who looks after this address. We are basically just a group of local farmers who decided to team up as a producer company. The office is really just a basic space where we meet up to discuss what to plant and when to sell. Kaithal has a lot of farming, so there’s always something going on in the fields. We don’t have a big staff or any polished furniture. It’s mostly just us and a few helpers who handle the accounts. Sometimes the power goes out in the village, so we just sit outside in the shade and finish our work there. It’s a very local, small-scale operation. We aren't trying to act like a big corporation. The whole point is to help the kisans in our area get through the season. If you come by the village, you might see some tractors parked nearby or stacks of grain bags. It’s a busy place but it’s quiet too. Being in Haryana, we know the weather can be tough, so we just take things as they come. Krishan manages the coordination from his spot. It’s a very practical way to run things for people who are usually out in the mud anyway. We’ve been here in Teek quite some time now and plan to stay for a while.
