Firozabad Potato Producer Company Limited

Firozabad Potato Producer Company Limited is all about what we grow best in this part of Nasirpur. Ajay’s place is where we keep our records, and it is right near the railway over bridge in Aasfabad. You can hear the trains rattling past all day long. Potatoes are our main thing, and anyone who grows them knows it is a lot of digging and heavy lifting. We formed this company so we could manage our storage better. If you sell all your potatoes the moment they come out of the ground, you don't make much. We are trying to be smarter about it by working together. We don't have a shiny office; it’s usually just a few of us sitting on string beds talking about the current market rates. The soil here in Firozabad is good for tubers, but you still have to watch out for blight and the cold snaps. We aren't businessmen in the traditional sense; we are just farmers who realized that we need to handle the selling side of things too. It is a learning curve for all of us. We share what we know about the different varieties and help each other during the planting season. It is a noisy, dusty, and busy life, especially near the bridge, but it is what we know. We just want to get our potatoes to the people who need them at a fair price.
