Risalia Farmer Producer Company Limited

Risalia Farmer Producer Company Limited is a local group run by Balbir, who is Moti Ram’s son. We are based in Rasaliakhara. It’s one of those places where everyone knows everyone. We didn't want to just be separate farmers doing our own thing anymore, so we put this company together. The paperwork was a bit of a headache at first, but we got through it. Balbir handles a lot of the coordination from his place. Most days involve checking on the fields or seeing if the equipment is working like it should. We don't have fancy machinery, mostly just the basics that have worked for years. The rain is the biggest thing we worry about. If it rains too much, the fields get bogged down, and if it doesn’t rain, well, that’s worse. We grow what the land allows. Rasaliakhara is a quiet spot, and we like it that way. We aren't looking to expand into some big city operation. We just want to make sure the crops get sold for a fair price so the work is worth it. Sometimes we meet up under the trees to talk about the next planting season. It’s simple work, and it keeps us busy from sunrise to sunset. There’s always something that needs fixing or a field that needs more attention. We just take it one day at a time here.
