Kamdara Farmer Producer Company Limited

In Kamdara, things move a bit slower, and that is how we like it at Kamdara Farmer Producer Company Limited. Our setup is at Sushma Devi’s place, who is Ganga Prasad’s wife, over in the Amdara area. We don't have a corporate building; we just use what we have available in the village. This group is made up of local farmers from Gumla who wanted to find a better way to manage our harvests. Most of us have been digging in this dirt since we were kids, and we know that farming is a tough way to make a living if you are doing it all by yourself. By coming together here in Kamdara, we can share the load a little bit. We talk about what seeds are working and how to deal with the rain or the lack of it. It’s not a fancy operation at all. Usually, we are just sitting around on the porch or in the yard, going over the numbers and making sure everyone is getting a fair shake. We are just regular people from the neighborhood trying to look out for each other and our land. Sometimes we disagree on things, but at the end of the day, we all want the same thing, which is to keep our farms going and provide for our kids. It’s practical, everyday work that doesn't need a lot of big words to explain. It is a simple life for us.
