Dhakiyatiwari Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find Dhakiyatiwari Farmer Producer Company Limited over in Nigohi, which is part of Shahjahanpur. Om Veer Singh is the person you’d usually look for if you have questions about what we are doing. He’s got his place set up to handle the company business. It’s not very formal. We don't wear ties or have scheduled meetings with agendas. We just drop by when we have something to discuss about the crops or the seeds. Nigohi is a place where everyone knows everyone’s business anyway, so starting a producer company felt like a natural step for us farmers. The summer heat in Shahjahanpur can be really something, and we spend a lot of time just trying to keep the plants alive. This company is our way of making sure that when we do have a good crop, we don't get cheated on the price. It’s hard to stay on top of all the rules and the market changes, so we help each other out with that. We don't have a big mission statement or anything. We just want to pay our bills and maybe have a little left over for next year. It’s messy work sometimes, and the office is usually cluttered with bags and tools, but it’s a real business run by real people who actually farm the land. We aren't experts, we are just working men trying to stay afloat.
