Nagraone Farmer Producer Company Limited

Out here in Nagara, specifically at the spot where Brijendra Nath stays in Rampur, we set up Nagraone Farmer Producer Company Limited. It’s a quiet village area and everyone mostly knows each other. We didn't start this to be some big corporate entity. We just wanted a better way for the farmers in the village to pool their resources. Most mornings start early before the sun gets too hot. We meet up and discuss what needs doing for the day. Sometimes it is about equipment, other times it is about where the produce is going. The address is just a house number really, but it serves as the hub for all our activities. We don't have a flashy website or any big marketing plans. We just focus on the soil and the plants. When the crops are ready, that’s when the real work starts. It’s a lot of physical labor and then a lot of counting and checking. We try to keep things honest and straightforward. If there’s a problem with a batch, we talk it out. It’s a learning process for all of us, especially with the government rules changing now and then. We are just trying to build something that lasts for the kids in the village so they don't have to leave for the city if they don't want to. It is tough but we are making slow progress every single month.
