Maa Arnapurna Cbbo Farm Producer Company Limited

We are based out of Goba Pada in Bhawanipatna, specifically at Pabitra Majhi’s place. Maa Arnapurna Cbbo Farm Producer Company Limited is a group of us who work with the farmers around Kalahandi. This part of Orissa has its own way of doing things, and we try to stick to that while being a bit more organized. Our days are mostly spent meeting with people who have been farming this land for generations. We help with the side of things that farmers usually don't have time for, like the marketing or finding better prices for their goods. The office is just a regular spot in the neighborhood. It’s often full of people coming in to sign things or just to chat about the weather and the markets. We don’t go in for big promises or fancy language. We just do the work that needs to be done. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we have to finish our notes by candlelight, but that’s just life here. We’re a collective, so everyone has a say in how things go. It can get a bit loud during meetings, but it’s all in good spirit. We just want to make sure the farming families in Bhawanipatna can keep their heads above water and have a good season. It takes a lot of effort from everyone involved.
