Alakhnath Farmer Producer Company Limited

Alakhnath Farmer Producer Company Limited is run from Anil Kumar’s place in Majhola Nagar. We are a small group of farmers who decided to combine our efforts. Majhola Nagar is a place where everyone knows their neighbor's fields. We spent years just doing our own thing until we saw that we could do better if we worked together. The office is basically just a room with some chairs and a desk where we keep our registers. It’s not fancy at all. We spend most of our time out in the sun anyway. This company is about managing our produce and trying to buy seeds and fertilizer in bulk so it’s cheaper for everyone. It sounds simple but it takes a lot of coordination. There are days when the phone won't stop ringing and other days when it’s totally quiet. We don't have a marketing department or anything like that. We just talk to the people we know and try to find buyers who pay fairly. It is hard to run a business when you are also busy planting and harvesting. But we felt it was necessary for the village. Majhola Nagar has a lot of potential if we stay organized. We aren't experts in business, but we know our land and we know what it takes to grow things well. We are just local folks trying to make a living.
