Biswabasu Farmer Producer Company Limited

Biswabasu Farmer Producer Company Limited is based in a village called Dhanachangada in the Nayagarh district. We are set up at Basanta Kumar Guru’s house. Nayagarh is a beautiful area with a lot of green, and most of us here have spent our whole lives in these fields. We decided to form this company so we could have a bit more say in how our crops are handled. It’s mostly small-scale farmers who are part of this. We meet up regularly, often under a tree if the weather is nice, to talk about what we need for the next season. There’s always something to worry about, whether it’s the price of seeds or the trucks not showing up on time. We do our own bookkeeping, which can be a headache sometimes. None of us are professional accountants, just farmers trying to keep things straight. We share tools and advice. If one person finds a better way to do something, we all hear about it pretty quickly. It’s a close-knit group. We don't have a fancy website or a glossy brochure. If you want to know what we are about, you just have to come down to Dhanachangada and talk to us. We’ll probably offer you some water and tell you about the harvest. It’s a simple life, but we are proud of the work we do.
