Chandeswari Farmer Producer Company Limited

We set up Chandeswari Farmer Producer Company Limited right here in Saintala. You can find us at Tulsi Sahu’s place, which is Khatian No. 17 at Plot No. 584. It’s a spot called Khasbahal in the Bhadra area of Bolangir. Most of the people involved here are just regular farmers who live nearby. We grow what we can and try to help each other out when the harvest comes. Bolangir can be a tough place for farming because the ground gets really dry, but we make do with what we have. Our office is basically just a room with some old desks where we keep our papers. We don't spend a lot of time inside because there is always something to do out on the land. Sometimes we sit around and talk about the price of fertilizer or which seeds worked best last year. We aren't professional businessmen or anything like that. We are just people who know the soil and want to get a fair price for our hard work. It's a bit of a drive to get out here, but this is where the farming happens. We try to keep things simple and honest. If a neighbor has a problem with their crop, we usually hear about it pretty fast. That is the good thing about being a local group in a small place like Saintala. We just keep moving forward one day at a time. Most of the crops around here are doing fine lately.
