Kalmegh Rishi Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find us in Paharpur village, specifically at Chaitanya Kumar’s place in Teliadih. We are part of the Kharagpur block. Our group is just a small producer company made up of local farmers. Most of us have been farming these lands for our whole lives. We decided to join up so we could have a bit more weight when it comes to buying supplies and selling our produce. We don't have a big budget for a fancy office, so we just meet at the house or out under the trees. It’s a very informal setup. We talk about the rain, the soil, and whatever crops we are growing at the time. In Kharagpur, you have to be ready for anything the weather throws at you. We don't use any marketing tricks. We just show people what we have grown. It’s a very honest way to live. We help our neighbors and they help us. This company is just a way to put a name on what we were already doing. We don't have a big corporate structure. It’s just us making decisions together. Sometimes we disagree, but we always figure it out. We are just trying to get a fair price for our hard work. That’s all there is to it. We are just farmers through and through. Life here is not fast, but we get things done at our own pace.
