Silawan Agriculture Producer Company Limited

Silawan Agriculture Producer Company Limited is based right here in Silawan. We operate out of Rabudai's village area. It started because a few of us felt that we should probably organize ourselves better. Farming in a place like this means you're always busy with something, whether it’s planting or harvesting. We aren't trying to be some massive corporation. We’re just local farmers who know the ground here. Dealing with the daily tasks of agriculture takes up most of our time. Usually, we meet up at Rabudai’s place to talk about what’s happening in the fields. It’s a very informal way of doing things, but it’s how we like it. The village is small, so everyone knows who we are and what we’re trying to do. We don't have any fancy goals on paper or marketing people. It’s just about the crops and making sure we can keep things moving along. Some days are harder than others, especially when the rain doesn't come when you expect it. We just take things one day at a time and try to help each other out. It’s a practical way of living. We’ve been around this land for years, so it felt right to put a name to what we were already doing. It’s just us, the soil, and the work that needs to be finished before the sun goes down. We're happy to just keep things simple and local. There is no need for anything more than that.
