Ashari Agro Producer Company Limited

You'll find us over at Ashari, specifically in the Chaklahana area. It is a bit out of the way, but that is where the land is. Most of what we do involves the local crops and working with the soil here. Our main point of contact is usually through Partha Sharathi Ghorai’s place since everyone around here knows where that is. We started this agro company because there are a lot of people in this part of the district who need a way to organize their farming better. It is not some big city operation. We mostly sit around on plastic chairs talking about what to plant next season. Sometimes the rains don’t come when they are supposed to, and that causes a lot of stress for everyone. We spend a lot of time walking between the fields and checking on the growth. The office side of things is pretty basic, just some desks and a lot of registers to keep track of things. We don't really have a fancy sign or a big front gate. It is just a work environment where we try to stay on top of the farm cycles. Sometimes the neighbors come by just to chat about the market prices or to complain about the heat. We keep things simple because that is the only way we know how to work. It’s hard work, but being out in Ashari feels right for what we are doing every single day.
