Tulasikhetra Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our spot is over at Gopachhak in Kendrapara, right by Rajendra Kumar Biswal’s place. Tulasikhetra Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically just us local folks trying to stay organized. Kendrapara has a lot of history with farming, and we’re just the latest bunch to try and make a go of it. The office is easy to miss if you aren't looking for it, just a plain building where we keep our records and meet up. We don't have any flashy advertisements or anything like that. Word usually gets around by mouth anyway. Some of us grow rice, others do different things, but we all end up here eventually to chat. It gets busy during the planting season, and the noise of the bikes coming and going is constant. Rajendra keeps things running mostly, but everyone chips in when they can. We don't use a lot of fancy words for what we do. We just grow things and try to sell them for a fair price. Sometimes the rain doesn't come when we want it to, or it comes too much, and then we all sit around and worry together. It’s a simple life, but it’s what we know. We’ve all lived here a long time, so we know the land pretty well. If you’re ever passing through Gopachhak, you might see us out front. It’s not much, but it’s our place and we’re proud of what we manage to do with what we have.
