Dhand Farmers Producer Company Limited

Dhand Farmers Producer Company Limited is run out of VPO Bandrana. You can find us with Rahul Kumar, who is the son of Rishipal. It’s a family-oriented place, like most things in our village. We don't have a fancy corporate building. We just work from the village itself because that is where the land is. We spend our days worrying about the same things every other farmer in Bandrana worries about. Is the water coming on time? Will the pests stay away? We decided to put this company together so we could have a bit more say in what happens to our produce after it leaves the field. It’s a lot of hard work and sometimes things don't go as planned. We might have meetings under a tree or in someone’s front yard. Rahul stays busy keeping track of who needs what. We try to keep things simple. We don't use big words or try to act like we know more than the next person. We just know that if we work together, we might get a slightly better deal at the market. That’s the whole point of being a producer company. It is about the people in Bandrana and making sure everyone has a fair shot. It’s a slow process, but we are stuck in it for the long haul because this is our home and our lives.
