Deeg Baghwani Producer Company Limited

Deeg Baghwani Producer Company Limited is based in Village Deeg, which is in the Kaithal district. We are set up at Bansi Lal’s place, he is the son of Dewan Singh. The zip code is 136026. Baghwani means we are all about gardening and orchards. It is a bit different from just growing wheat or rice. We deal with fruits and trees, which takes a lot of patience because a tree does not grow overnight. You have to look after them for years before you see a good result. Our group in Kaithal is made up of people who have been doing this for generations. We meet at the house in the village to talk about pests, pruning, and the harvest. It is a very hands-on kind of business. You can’t learn this stuff from a book; you have to be out there in the orchard. We decided to form a company so we could help each other with the costs of fertilizers and finding better markets for our fruit. It gets very hot here, and making sure the trees have enough water is a constant worry. We are not polished business people with suits. We are just guys who know how to grow trees. We keep our records in simple notebooks and try to make sure every member of our group is doing okay. It is a community effort more than anything else.
