Dandiya Nagla Pro Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is called Dandiya Nagla Pro Farmers Producer Company Limited and you can find us at Prem Vati’s place in the village of Ulhaitapurrichha. It is a small village and everyone knows everyone else. We started this because the farmers here needed a way to work together instead of everyone trying to do things on their own. It is a bit crowded at the house sometimes when people come over to discuss the crops. We don't have a fancy website or a big sign outside. Most of the time, we are just talking about the price of seeds or how the monsoon is looking this year. Prem Vati has been kind enough to let us use this space as a central point for the company. We deal with the stuff that individual farmers find hard, like dealing with the government forms or finding buyers for the grain. Life in Ulhaitapurrichha is simple but the work is tough. We get up early and stay out late in the fields. When we meet up, we usually sit on some plastic chairs and go over the accounts. We aren't experts in business, but we know farming. The company is just a way for us to have a bit more say in how our crops are sold. It gets dusty in the summer and the rains make the paths hard to walk on, but we stay busy. We are just local people trying to keep our farms going through all the seasonal changes.
