Raharia Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us at Gata No. 520 in Sahabganj, over in the Rehariya area. Raharia Farmer Producer Company Limited is basically a small group of us trying to get things organized. We aren't in some big city office. We are right here where the fields are. It’s a lot of manual work and checking on stuff daily. The Gata number is where we keep our main records and meet up when we need to make a decision about the crops. Sahabganj is a quiet place most of the time, though it picks up when it's time to sell. We spend our mornings checking the weather and seeing how the plants are doing. It's not a polished operation with uniforms or anything. We wear our work clothes and get our hands dirty. Sometimes the paperwork piles up and we have to spend a whole afternoon just sorting through receipts and lists. We started this because it felt like the right move for the village. Rehariya has good land and we want to make the most of it without having to rely on people from far away. Most of us have been farming since we were kids. This company is just a way for us to work together more officially. It’s simple, it’s local, and it keeps us busy from sunrise to sunset. There’s always something that needs fixing or someone who needs a hand. We just try to stay focused on what’s right in front of us every day.
