Dhuryah Farmer Producer Company Limited

Dhuryah Farmer Producer Company Limited is based at House No. 82 in Majhagawanmasgawan Rath. It’s Dev Kunwar’s place. We are right in the middle of the post Masgawan area. This company isn't anything fancy with a big glass front or a reception desk. It’s basically just a room in a house where we keep our registers and talk about the crops. We’re all farmers from around Rath. We figured if we worked together, we might have a better time getting our goods to the market without losing so much money. It’s been a bit of a learning curve for us, dealing with all the paperwork and the government rules. Some days we spend more time arguing about who’s going to drive the tractor than actually working, but we get it done eventually. Dev Kunwar keeps us on track mostly. The house is usually full of people coming in and out, asking about seed distribution or when the next meeting is. We don't have a lot of money for big advertisements, so we just talk to our neighbors. It’s a very local thing. We grow mostly the usual stuff for this region and try to keep our costs low. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s honest. We just want to see the village do a bit better year by year. That’s why we started this whole thing in the first place. We keep moving forward and hope for good rain.
