Murthal Farmer Vegetable Producer Company Limited

Murthal Farmer Vegetable Producer Company Limited is based out of Jagdishpur. Rishipal is the main contact person here and he handles the day to day stuff at the village. We focus on vegetables because that is what we know best in this part of Murthal. Jagdishpur is a quiet place but we stay busy during the peak growing months. Most of us here started out as individual farmers but we saw that joining up made things a little easier for transport and getting supplies. We don't have a website or a big marketing team, it’s just us and our tools. You can usually find someone at Rishipal’s place if you need to talk about seeds or what we are harvesting this week. The weather around here can be tough, either too dry or too much rain all at once, so we have to watch the crops daily. We have some young guys helping now who are better with the phones and the internet but mostly we stick to the old ways of working the land. It is honest work and it keeps us busy from dawn till dusk. We don't really do much else besides farming. This company is just a way for us Jagdishpur farmers to have a bit of a voice in the market and help each other out when things get difficult. It took a lot of talking to get everyone to agree to join but now we are glad we did it and things are moving along slowly.
