Mansinghdih Farmers Producer Company Limited

Mansinghdih Farmers Producer Company Limited is run by us here in Mansinghdih village. Jaupar Mandal, who is Bagh Mandal’s son, is the person in charge. We are located in the Bengabad part of Giridih. It’s a pretty standard farming community. We spend our days out in the dirt, planting and harvesting. This company is just a way for us farmers to have a bit more say in what happens to our produce. We aren't corporate people. We don't have a lot of money for fancy things. Our office is just a part of the house in the village. We keep our records in simple notebooks and talk things over while sitting outside. Bengabad is our local hub. We go there for supplies and to hear the latest news. Farming is tough, but when we work as a group, it feels a bit easier. We don't have a mission statement or anything. We just want to grow good crops and get a fair price for them. Most people in the village are involved one way or another. We know the land here very well. It's been in our families for a long time. We just keep going, day after day, through the heat and the rain. It’s a simple life, and we like it that way. We don't need any more than our crops and our community to keep us happy and working.
