Varatiya Farmers Producer Company Limited

Varatiya Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically run out of Plot No. 383 in Parulia. Hemanta Das is the one who helps keep things organized here. We’re in the Purbasthali area, which is mostly known for its fields and the river nearby. This company is just a way for us farmers to work as a group. We aren't big-city business people; we’re just folks from the village who decided that pooling our resources was better than working alone. Our office, if you can even call it that, is just a part of the house where we keep the ledger books and the registration papers. It gets pretty dusty during the summer months, and in the monsoon, the road to Parulia can be a bit of a mess, but we manage. We spend a lot of time sitting around talking about the prices of fertilizers and when the next harvest should happen. There aren't any formal meetings with slides or presentations. We just talk, drink some tea, and decide what needs to be done next for the group. It's a lot of manual work and checking on each other's plots. Being part of a producer company helps us feel a bit more secure, but it’s still hard work every single day. We’re just local people trying to make the most of what we have in this corner of Purbasthali. That’s really all there is to it.
