Merghar Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited

A group of women from the Koimari village area in Bhabanipur started this. Our base is at Number 24, Dolepara Road. This is near the Chhaygaon post office. Merghar Mahila Farmer Producer Company Limited was formed to help the women farmers around here get more done together. Balancing the house and the fields is not easy, but we manage. Fancy things aren't what we are looking for. Making sure our work counts for something is the main thing. Most of us have been farming since we were young. The land around Chhaygaon is very familiar to us. Meeting up on Dolepara Road allows us to discuss what we are going to grow and how to share the work. It is a very local thing. Big bosses or corporate offices don't exist here. Hard-working women trying to improve things for our families is what you will find. Village life is quiet but busy. We talk about the rain and the seeds and the prices at the market. Sometimes the crops don't do so well, and we have to help each other out. Community is the reason we formed the company. Simple tools and the seasons guide our work. Changing our little corner of Koimari is our focus. Honest work is something we are proud of. We keep moving.
