Kishundhar Jot Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down in Bansi, specifically in the village of Kishundharjot, you’ll find the heart of our little company. Kishundhar Jot Farmer Producer Company Limited is run with the help of Dinesh Pandey and a bunch of local guys who have been farming these lands for years. We use the post office in Mau for our mail, but most of our real work happens right there in the dirt. It is a simple setup because we would rather spend our time in the fields than sitting behind a desk. The village life here is loud and busy, with cows wandering around and the sound of people calling out to each other across the rows of crops. We deal with all the usual headaches, like machines breaking down right when you need them or the price of seeds going up for no reason. We aren't corporate people; we are just neighbors who realized we could get a better deal if we sold our stuff together. Dinesh usually has a pot of tea going for whoever stops by to talk about the harvest or the latest government rules. It’s a lot of physical labor, and my back usually aches by the time I get home, but there is something good about seeing the trucks leave full of produce. We just try to do right by the land and the people living in Kishundharjot without making things more complicated than they actually need to be.
