Jareliya Farmer Producer Company Limited

This company is mostly run out of Smt Archana’s house over in Parenda Jareliya. It is located deep in the Unnao district, where things are usually pretty quiet and peaceful. We are just a group of local farmers who felt it was better to work together as a unit instead of always competing against each other. It makes things like buying seeds and fertilizer a bit cheaper when we order them as a large group. We do not have a real office building with a sign, just a small room in the house where we keep all the folders and the official stamp. Most of our meetings happen out on the porch or while we are walking through the fields together. Everyone knows everyone else in this village, so it is a very tight-knit community. We don't have any big corporate plans or grand visions for the future. We just want to make sure we can sell our grain for a price that lets us keep our homes and feed our families. Sometimes the old tractor breaks down and we all have to chip in to get it fixed up again. That is just the way we do things here in Jareliya. The soil here is okay, but we still have to work very hard to get a decent yield. We don't use much fancy technology. My neighbor helps out with the computer stuff when needed.
