Mahendreswari Farmers Producer Company Limited

We set up shop here in Belapadar at house number 29. Most of us around Ward No. 4 know the area well. It is in Gajapati, and Koinpur is where things happen for us most days. We started this because folks around here needed a way to deal with their crops without so much trouble. It is not a big fancy office with glass windows. It is just a regular place where farmers from around the 761212 zip code can sit and talk. Sometimes the weather makes things hard for the harvest, but we just keep going anyway. Working together seemed better than everyone trying to do it alone. We do not have a lot of big machines yet. Mostly, we just look at what is growing and try to get it sold for a decent price. People stop by when they have a question about their seeds or the dirt. It gets real busy during the planting season. The building is not much to look at, just a regular spot in the neighborhood. We spend a lot of time on the phone or out in the fields checking on the progress of what is planted. It takes a lot of work to keep things moving. We are not trying to be some huge corporation. We are just a group from the village doing what we can. Sometimes the paperwork gets confusing, but we handle it. Life in Orissa involves a lot of farming, so having this setup makes sense.
