Budhadangar Jeebika Farmers Producer Company Limited

This is Budhadangar Jeebika Farmers Producer Company Limited. We are located in Kharlakhunta, specifically in the Bagicha Pada area. Our post office is Sirol and we fall under the Kesibhawanipatna block in Kalahandi. The pin code here is 766012. We are a local group of farmers. The word Jeebika is important to us because this is our livelihood. We don't have a corporate office with glass walls. We work where the dirt is. Our meetings happen right here in the village. We started this company because we wanted to have a better say in how our crops are sold. It is mostly small farmers here. We grow what the soil in Kalahandi allows us to. Some days are spent worrying about the water and other days we are busy loading trucks. It is a simple setup. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment. We rely on our hands and each other. If you visit Bagicha Pada, you will see how we live and work. It is a community thing really. We help each other with tools and advice. The company is just a way to make it all legal and official. We aren't trying to impress anyone. We just want to keep our farms running and make enough to take care of our homes. It is hard work, but we are used to it by now. There is no shortcut in this business, just steady labor and patience.
