Nimsiang Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based in Motum village, which is under the Mebo post office. January Megu’s place is where we keep our documents. We are just a group of local farmers from this part of Arunachal. The land here is what provides for us, so we spend most of our time taking care of it. We didn't start this company to become famous or anything. We just realized that if we all work together, maybe we can get a better price for our harvest. Most of us grow things like paddy or mustard, depending on the time of year. It’s hard work, and your back usually hurts by the end of the day. There are no fancy offices here, just the fields and the village houses. We meet up when we can to talk about what we need to buy, like seeds or tools. We don't have a lot of money, so we have to be careful with every rupee. The weather is our biggest boss; if it rains too much, we’re in trouble. But we’ve lived here all our lives, so we’re used to the cycles of the seasons. We just want to keep farming and maybe make things a little more stable for our families. It’s a quiet life in Motum, and we like it that way. We just do our best with what we have and keep our heads down. It’s better than working alone in the sun all day.
