Csc Kant Shahjahanpur Farmer Producer Company Limited

Out in the village of Nagla Bawarikant, near Shahjahanpur, is where we have our base. Csc Kant Shahjahanpur Farmer Producer Company Limited is run from Sri Ramsaran Singh’s place. It’s a quiet area with a lot of green fields and hardworking people. We don't have a big corporate office or anything like that. It’s just a spot where we can get together and talk about the farming business. Most of us have been doing this for our whole lives. We know the land around Shahjahanpur like the back of our hands. The company was formed so we wouldn't have to face the big markets all by ourselves. It can be intimidating when you are just one person, but as a group, we feel a bit stronger. We don't use fancy English or marketing tricks. We just want to get our produce sold and make enough to start again next year. There are plenty of challenges, like when the prices drop or the insects get into the plants. We just take it as it comes. It’s a practical way of living. If you come by the village, you’ll see us working or maybe just resting under a tree during the heat of the day. We are just a bunch of neighbors trying to make a go of it. It’s not always pretty, but it is real work. We stay busy and keep our eyes on the ground.
