J.J.M. Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are located in Jagdeesh Puramahiyapur, right here in Raebareli. The postal code is 229001. We’re based at Ram Adhar Yadav’s house. J.J.M. Farmer Producer Company Limited is what we call ourselves, but most people just know us as the local farm group. Being in Raebareli, we see a lot of activity. It’s an old place with a lot of history in farming. We work with the men and women who spend their days in the fields. It’s practical work, nothing too formal. We sit down with Ram Adhar and go over the numbers. Sometimes the power goes out, so we just wait it out. It’s not like those big city offices. We keep our records and try to help the farmers get a fair deal. The area around Jagdeesh Puramahiyapur is mostly fields. You can see them from the window. We’ve been at this address for a while now. It’s easy for the locals to find us. We don’t do much advertising. People just hear about us through word of mouth. That’s how things work in this part of UP. We’re just trying to keep the company going and make sure the farmers are taken care of. It’s a lot of talking and a lot of paperwork, but it’s our daily life. We like it fine. Raebareli is a busy town, but Jagdeesh Puramahiyapur feels more like a quiet corner. We see the seasons change through the crops. It's nice to be out here instead of in the middle of a big city. We don't have any formal training, we just learned as we went along.
