Maabenden Producer Company Limited

Maabenden Producer Company Limited operates out of Thabir Sahu’s place in Tikirapada. We are located in Rishigaonbhawanipatna, which is part of the Kalahandi district. Most of the folks involved here are just regular farmers from the surrounding area. We deal with the crops that grow well in our soil, like pulses and some grains. It’s a quiet place for the most part, but things get very busy when it’s time to harvest. You can usually find a few of us sitting near the entrance of the village talking about the market rates or the latest news from the agricultural department. We don’t have any fancy signs or big glass windows. The office is just a simple building where we keep the records and store some equipment. It’s hard work living out here in Odisha 766002, especially when the heat gets intense in the summer months. We try to stick together so we can get better deals on things like fertilizer. If someone’s tractor breaks down, we usually know who can fix it. It isn't a complicated setup, just a group of us trying to make a living from the land we have. We spend most of our time out in the sun, so the indoor work is usually done in the evenings. We handle the logistics of getting the produce to the town. It takes a lot of coordination, but we’ve lived here our whole lives, so we know the roads and the people.
