Sonasobran Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is in Raji, which is a small village in Garhwa. Sonasobran Farmer Producer Company Limited is basically just the local farmers coming together. We operate out of the Panchayat Raji area. It's a rural spot and everyone knows everyone. We started this because doing everything alone was getting too hard. Dealing with traders and getting the right supplies was always a struggle for a single farmer. Now that we are a company, we have a bit more weight, but we still work the same way. We grow what the land gives us here in Jharkhand. The soil in Garhwa has its own quirks. We talk about the rain a lot. If the monsoon is late, we all feel it. Our meetings happen right in the village, often outdoors or at someone’s house. There are no suits or ties here. We wear what we wear to the fields. Sometimes we have disagreements about what to buy or when to sell, but that's just how it goes with a big group of neighbors. We are trying to keep our traditional ways of farming while also figuring out how to survive in the current market. It is a slow process. We don't have a website or a big office. We just have our names and our land. We are trying to make sure the next generation doesn't leave the village for the city. It’s hard work every day. We just hope for a good harvest for everyone here.
