Amaniganj Jaivik Farmer Producer Company Limited

Amaniganj Jaivik Farmer Producer Company Limited is based out of Vinayakpuramaniganj. We operate from Malti Singh’s home. The word Jaivik is important to us because we are trying to move away from the heavy chemicals that people have been using for too long. It’s not easy to change how everyone has been farming for decades, but we are taking it one step at a time. A few of us get together at Malti's place and talk about natural ways to keep the soil healthy. We share tips on making our own compost and which seeds are doing better without the store-bought sprays. It’s a slow process and the yields aren't always as high as the chemical stuff at first, but we think it’s better for the land in the long run. We don't have a big marketing budget or a sales team. It’s just a bunch of local farmers from Amaniganj trying to do things a bit more naturally. We spend a lot of time walking the rows and checking for bugs. When we harvest, we try to find buyers who actually care about how the food was grown. It’s a lot of manual labor and sometimes your back hurts for days, but seeing the soil get darker and healthier makes it feel like we are doing the right thing for our families and the village we live in.
