Kosi Fed Poultry Farmer Producer Company Limited

Out in the Kosi region, things are a bit different because of the river and the landscape. We are set up in Sarddihatola village, specifically at Ravi Shanker Singh’s place. Simri is the main area we cover. It is all about poultry here. We have got a lot of farmers who have a few birds in their backyards, and we try to bring everyone together. The smell of chicken feed is something you just get used to after a while. The birds need constant care, especially when the Kosi starts to rise and the humidity gets high. We spend our time checking on the coops and making sure the chicks are staying warm. It is not a glamorous job. You get dirty and you are on your feet all day. We started this because we wanted to stop getting cheated on the prices of eggs and meat. Now that we are a producer company, we have a bit more say in things. But at the end of the day, we are still just farmers in Sardiha. We meet under the trees or at Ravi’s house to talk about what we need. There is no big boardroom here. Just plastic chairs and some tea. We do not have any secrets. We just work hard and try to make sure the birds stay healthy so we can pay our bills. It is a simple life, but it is ours.
