Sarahati Farmer Producer Company Limited

If you are looking for us, we are located over at Mr. Rajiv Kumar’s place in Sarahati Sanda. Being in Kannauj, we are surrounded by a lot of history and farming tradition, but we mostly just focus on our own patches of land. Sarahati Farmer Producer Company Limited started because a few of us figured we could do more if we pooled our resources instead of trying to handle everything alone. It is not always easy coordinating with everyone, especially when the planting season kicks in and nobody has a spare minute to talk. The Sanda area has its own rhythm, and we just follow that. We don't have a big corporate building or anything fancy. It is mostly just muddy boots and talking about soil quality or the price of fertilizer. Rajiv helps keep the records straight, which is a big job given how many of us are involved now. We deal with the usual stuff like pests, unpredictable rain, and trying to get a fair price at the local market. Some days are better than others. Last year was a bit tough with the heat, but we managed to get through it. We are just local people trying to make a living off the land we have. There is no secret to it, just showing up every day and doing the work that needs to be done in the fields. We don't spend much time on the computer unless we absolutely have to for the business side of things. It’s a lot of work but it is okay.
