K.Nuagaon Bhumi Farmer Producer Company Limited

Most of us here at K.Nuagaon Bhumi Farmer Producer Company Limited have spent our whole lives working the soil around Sarangada. It is not an easy job, but it is what we know. We are based out of Manoranjan Bishoyi’s place in K.Nuagaon. The idea behind starting this group was pretty simple. A few of us got together and realized that selling our crops alone wasn’t really getting us anywhere. By coming together, we can figure out things like transport and better seeds without so much stress. The weather in our part of the region changes fast, and having a group helps when the rain doesn't show up. We don’t have a fancy office with big desks. It’s mostly just us meeting up and talking about what needs to be planted next. Some days it is about rice, other days it is about vegetables. We try to keep things honest and practical for the families here. Everyone knows everyone in Sarangada, so word gets around fast if something is working. We are just trying to make a decent living off the land we have. It’s hard work, and sometimes the prices in the market don’t go our way, but we keep going. The group is growing slowly, and that’s fine by us. We would rather do things right than do them fast. If you are looking for us, we are right there in the village, usually busy with the day's work.
