Medpur Farmer Producer Company Limited

Out here in Madpur, things are pretty quiet most of the time. We are set up at Ramesh Chandar’s place in the village of Raya Pur. The Brij Bhan Singh part of the address is what the local postman looks for when he has a delivery for us. Medpur Farmer Producer Company Limited is a bit of a long and formal name for our group, but it covers what we are trying to do. We are just a group of farmers trying to work together and help each other out. Ramesh has some extra space for us to meet and keep our things organized. You will usually find a few of us sitting on a string cot outside the door talking about market prices or the upcoming weather. It’s definitely not a corporate headquarters with glass walls and fancy carpets. We have some old sacks and maybe some grain samples lying around on the floor. The village life in Madpur really dictates how we work every day. If it is harvest time, nobody is in the office because we are all in the fields. If it is raining hard, we all huddle inside and drink tea. We don't have a fancy logo or a big marketing plan. We just want to make sure the farmers in our producer company get a fair deal for their hard work. Being at Ramesh Chandar’s house makes it feel more like a family thing than a stiff business. Raya Pur is a small spot, but we like it.
