Upkarkrishak Producer Company Limited

We are based in Mahto Tola, right near the pond in Maganpur. You’ll find us at Gulabchand Mahto’s place. It’s a very local setup, right in the heart of the village life here in Gola. Being near the talab is nice because there’s always a bit of a breeze, and it’s a natural landmark for anyone trying to find us. We are a producer company, which basically means a bunch of us krishaks decided to work together instead of trying to do everything alone. It’s not always easy to get everyone on the same page, but we try. We meet up at Gulabchand's house to talk about our crops and what we’re going to do for the next season. The Gola area has its own challenges, like the rocky soil in some parts and the way the rain falls. We don’t have a big corporate budget or fancy marketing. We just have our hands and the knowledge passed down from our parents. Most days are spent out in the sun, and our meetings usually happen when the sun is going down and the work is finished. We talk about the price of goods and how to get our stuff to the market without losing too much. It’s a simple life, focused on the earth and the people we live next to. The Mahto Tola neighborhood is where we feel most at home. We’re just a group of neighbors trying to make the most of what we have in Maganpur.
