Jmpb Farmer Producer Company Limited

Jmpb Farmer Producer Company is over in Bhatpurwa, Dilisaraiyan. It’s a small corner of Uttar Pradesh, zip code 224121. Rang Bahadur is the person we coordinate through. We aren't some big business from the city; we are just locals who know a thing or two about farming. The soil around here is what we know best. Most of the year, you’ll find us out in the dirt rather than in the office. We set this company up to give ourselves a better chance at selling our produce. Dealing with middle-men was getting frustrating, so we thought we should try doing it ourselves. Our office is modest, just a spot to gather and discuss the season. It’s not always easy to get everyone to agree, but we manage. We share tips on what worked and what didn't last year. Sometimes we talk about the price of fertilizer or which crops are less likely to get pests. It's a very hands-on way of doing things. We don't have many employees, just the board members and the farmers who are part of the group. If you come by, you’ll likely see us drinking tea and looking at some samples of grain. We aren't trying to be fancy. We just want to make sure the work we do in the fields pays off at the end of the day. It’s hard work, but it’s ours. We spend a lot of time on the phone or just walking over to each other’s houses to talk about the latest weather reports.
