Amdanga Farmer Producer Company Limited

Amdanga Farmer Producer Company Limited is based out of the North 24 Parganas district. We cover a few different villages like Gadamarahat, West Dhania, Masunda, and Beraberi. It’s a wide area because that’s where all our members have their land. We are essentially a group of local farmers who decided to work together. It makes things easier when it comes to buying seeds or trying to sell the harvest. We don’t have a central office that looks like much. Usually, we just meet up at one of the houses or in a small shed. It’s very much a grassroots thing. Most of us have been farming this land for generations. We grow things like rice and different kinds of vegetables depending on the time of year. The weather is a big factor for us. A bad storm can really mess things up, and we’ve seen plenty of those. We don’t use any fancy language to describe ourselves. We are just people from Masunda and Maricha who know how to work the soil. We spend our days out in the fields and our evenings talking about how to fix the equipment or where to send the next load of produce. It’s hard, physical work and there aren't many breaks. We just want to make sure the farming stays sustainable for everyone involved in the company. It is just us working the land together to get by.
