Laija Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are based at Ningombammakha Leikai in Imphal West, right with Soibam Bombom Meitei. It’s a quiet area, mostly just homes and small plots of land. We use a part of the house as our office. It’s not a corporate building with elevators or anything like that. We just have a few desks and some cupboards for our files. Most of the people who come by are our neighbors who have been farming for generations. We sit down and talk about the weather or why the prices are changing. It’s all very informal. We don’t have a mission statement on the wall or a big logo. We just know what needs to be done every day. Sometimes the office gets a bit dusty when the wind picks up, and we have to spend the morning cleaning before we can get to work. We don’t have a lot of fancy equipment. Just a phone and a computer that’s a few years old. We aren't looking to be the biggest company around. We just want to help the local producers in Imphal West stay organized. It’s a lot of small tasks that add up. We keep things honest and simple. If you need to find us, just ask around the Leikai. Most people know where Bombom lives. We’re just regular folks trying to make a go of it with our neighbors.
