Soiwa Jirain Farmers Producer Company Limited

Soiwa Jirain Farmers Producer Company Limited is based in the Asthawan block, specifically in Tola-Akbarpur within Rahui, Nalanda. You can find us through Manoj Kumar. The name Soiwa Jirain comes from the local geography here. We are in a part of Nalanda where the soil is quite good for vegetables and other crops. We started this company because we were tired of being at the mercy of middle men who took too much of a cut. Now, we gather at our spot in Akbarpur to figure out how to transport our stuff to the bigger markets ourselves. It is a lot of work and we are often tired by the end of the day. The office is just a room where we store some samples and keep our records in old ledger books. We do not have any fancy technology or big city ideas. We just know how to grow things and we are trying to learn the business side of it as we go along. Rahui is a place where everyone is a farmer, so we are all in the same boat. Sometimes we have disagreements about how to spend the company money, but we eventually figure it out. It is just a very local, human way of running a business. We are just regular people from the village trying to make sure our kids have a better future through the land we work.
