Jagat Shree Agro Producer Companylimited

You can find us in Ram Nagar, specifically in Ward No. 3 in Rura. This is the Jagat Shree Agro group. Dinesh Chandra handles the main bits of the business from his place there. Rura is a small town, and everybody knows what everyone else is planting for the year. We started this company because it was getting way too hard to sell our stuff individually. When you are small, the big buyers in the city don't really listen to what you say. So we all put our names together on this official paper. It is mostly agro work, meaning seeds, fertilizers, and then trying to get the harvest out to someone who will actually pay us. We don't have any big slogans or marketing plans. We just want the crops to grow well. Sometimes the power goes out for hours and we can't run the water pumps, which is a real pain during the dry spells. We sit around at Dinesh's place and talk about the weather and the prices in the city markets. It isn't a glamorous life, but it’s what we have here in Ram Nagar. The office is just a small room with a few chairs and a table. We spend more time outside in the sun than inside anyway. If the harvest is good, everyone is happy and relieved. If it’s bad, we just hunker down and wait for next time. We’re just trying to survive.
