Amjhira Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is the Amjhira Farmers Producer Company and we operate out of Khurai. You can find us over at Arvind Singh’s place, he is Narendra Singh’s son. We are in the Bhagat Singh Ward, which is a well-known spot in the Sagar district. We are just a collection of farmers from this area who wanted to work as one unit. It makes things a bit easier when you are buying supplies or trying to sell what you harvested. Khurai is a good place for this kind of work. We have a lot of meetings, usually just sitting around on plastic chairs talking about the upcoming season. We don't have a big marketing department or anything like that. It is just us and our families involved in the work. Sagar is a big district but everyone in the farming community around here seems to know each other. We focus on what is practical for our specific soil and climate. Sometimes the crops are great and sometimes they are a bit thin, but that is the life we chose. We keep our records in big ledgers and try to stay organized as much as we can. It is just local people helping local people get by. We all live close by, so if someone has a problem with their crop, we usually hear about it over coffee or out on the street. It’s a community thing more than anything else.
