Panchanam Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us in Ward No 17 of Anandapara. We work out of Santi Kutir, and Subrata Kumar Goswami is the one who keeps things organized around here. We’re a group of farmers who decided to team up. It’s a lot of work, and most of it isn't very glamorous. We spend our days talking to the different members, trying to figure out who needs what and how we can help each other out. Santi Kutir is a quiet spot, even with all the coming and going of the farmers from Anandapara. We try to keep things as simple as we can. There’s no need for complicated systems when you can just talk to someone face-to-face. That's how we've always done things in Ward No 17 and it seems to work out okay. It’s a busy place, and there’s always someone dropping by with a question or a problem that needs solving. We don't have a big corporate structure. It’s more about the people and the relationships we’ve built over the years in Anandapara. We deal with all the typical farming issues, from irrigation problems to finding the right seeds for the season. Sometimes it feels like we’re just barely keeping up with everything, but we manage. We don't use any fancy language to talk about our work. It’s just farming. We focus on the practical side of things, like how to get the crops to the market and how to share equipment.
