Gomteshwar Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are the Gomteshwar Farmer Producer Company Limited. We’re located in Sallada, Sarada, at Ramesh Chandra Jain’s house. He’s the son of Hansraj Jain and he’s been kind enough to let us use a bit of his space for our daily operations. Sarada is a good area for farming, but like anywhere else, it has its ups and downs depending on the rain. We aren't trying to be anything we’re not. We are just a local group of farmers who live nearby. We got together because it’s getting much harder to manage everything alone these days. We deal with all sorts of things, from getting the right seeds to figuring out how to get our harvest to the market without losing too much money. Ramesh keeps the books and makes sure we stay on track with the rules. It’s a lot of work, and sometimes we stay up late just talking about what to plant for the next season. The office is really just a simple room with some files and a phone. We don't have a receptionist or anything fancy like that. If the phone rings and we’re all out in the field, we might miss the call, but we always try to call back in the evening. We just want to make a living and help the other farmers in Sallada do the same. It’s a practical way to work for everyone.
