Sridhar Bishnu Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find Sridhar Bishnu Farmers Producer Company Limited over in Kanakpur, which is part of the Chandannagar area in Hooghly. We are set up at Amar Adak’s place. It’s a quiet spot, and we prefer it that way so we can focus on our crops. We are a group of farmers who decided that standing together was the best way to handle the market. Hooghly has good soil, but the costs of farming keep going up, so we had to figure out a way to manage our expenses. We share tools sometimes and talk about which fertilizers are actually working and which ones are a waste of money. It’s not a fancy business. There are no receptionists or glass doors here. It’s just a group of people who have callouses on their hands and dirt under their fingernails. We meet up to discuss the upcoming harvests and how to get our produce to the right places without losing too much money. Being in the 712401 area, we are close enough to the bigger markets but we stay rooted in our village. Most of us have known each other since we were kids, so there’s a lot of trust involved. We don't have a big marketing department. Our work is just about making sure the fields stay green and the families stay fed. It’s honest, hard work, and we just take it one season at a time.
