Aadhivasi Girijana Raithu Producer Company Limited

We are based at H. No. 1-36 in Sirpur-U, which is a small village and mandal. Aadhivasi Girijana Raithu Producer Company Limited is the name on our papers, but most people just know us by our names. We are tribal farmers mostly. The office is just a simple house, really. We don't have air conditioning or fancy chairs, just a place to sit and talk about the harvest. Sirpur-U is a quiet place and we like it that way. We spend our days out in the fields and then come here to handle the business side of things. It’s a lot of work and sometimes we feel like we are just barely keeping up with all the rules and forms. We started this because it’s hard for one farmer to do everything alone. By working as a group, we can manage things a little better. We don’t have any big marketing plans or anything like that. We just want to sell our produce for a fair price so we can keep going for another year. The road to our village isn't always the best, especially when the monsoon hits, but we make it work. It's just honest work, getting our hands dirty and hoping for a good crop. That’s what we do here every day, through the heat and the rain.
