Masitan Desu Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us in Mandi Dabwali, right at the back side of the Radha Swami place. Dinesh Kumar, who is Sadhu Ram’s son, handles a lot of the coordination from there. We called ourselves Masitan Desu Farmer Producer Company Limited. It’s a bit of a long name, but it fits who we are. We are mostly busy with the actual work of farming and don't spend much time in the office unless there’s paperwork that needs finishing. Dealing with the government or the big buyers can be a real headache for a single farmer, so we do it as a group. It makes things a bit easier to manage. Our members are all local people from around Masitan and Desu. We know the land here and what grows best. Sometimes we meet up just to complain about the electricity or the price of diesel. It’s not a polished business. There are sacks of grain and old ledgers lying around the office. We try to keep things organized, but when harvest time comes, everything gets a bit chaotic. That’s just the nature of what we do. We don’t try to act like we know everything. We just learn as we go and try to help each other out when things get tough. It’s about sticking together so we can all keep our farms running for another year.
