Srestha Kisan Producer Company Limited

Srestha Kisan Producer Company Limited is based out of Pardeep Kumar’s house in VPO Balab, which is part of the Kalanaur tehsil. Pardeep is the son of Suraj Bhan, and his place has become the main hub for everything we do. The zip code is 124303. We are a farmer producer company, so we spend most of our time dealing with the actual people who grow the food. Our office isn't anything special; it’s just a room with some benches and a cupboard full of files. We don't have any corporate slogans or polished mission statements hanging on the walls. We just have a calendar and a list of things that need to be done. Most days, we are either out in the fields or sitting here talking to someone about their crop yields. It’s a lot of manual tracking and local coordination. The village of Balab is a quiet place, but we keep ourselves busy. We drink a lot of tea while we go over the accounts and plan our next steps for the cooperative. It’s the kind of work where you know everyone you’re dealing with by their first name. We aren't looking to become some massive empire; we just want to do right by the farmers in Kalanaur. It’s a simple, honest way to make a living. We usually close up when it gets dark and start again.
