Puspashree Kolaghat Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are located in Kushar village, which is in the Kolaghat area of Purbamedinipur. Our group works out of Panchanan Maji’s place. We are all farmers ourselves, so we don't really have a traditional office environment. Most of the time we are meeting outside or in a small room to talk about our produce. We formed this company to help ourselves and our neighbors get a better grip on the market. It’s a struggle to deal with big buyers when you’re just one person, so we decided to pool everything together. We spend a lot of our time worrying about the weather and the price of diesel for the tractors. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s what we know. The Pulsita area has some good land, and we try to make the most of it every season. We aren't interested in sounding corporate or using big words. We just want to make sure that after all the sweat and hard work in the fields, we actually have some money left over. We handle the transport and the sales as a group, which helps a lot. If you come looking for us in Kushar, you’ll probably find us near the fields or at Panchanan’s house. We keep things very plain and simple because that’s how we live. It’s all about the crops and the community here. We just hope for good rain and decent prices for everyone.
