Sonitpur Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our company, Sonitpur Farmer Producer Company Limited, is closely tied to the Kanyaka Mustard Oil Mill over in Jamuguri, near Tezpur. This part of Sonitpur is well known for its mustard, and that’s a big part of what we do. We are based out of the mill area, where the smell of pressed seeds is pretty much always in the air. We work with a lot of farmers around Jamuguri who bring in their mustard crops. Instead of just selling the raw seeds for whatever price we can get, we try to coordinate things better through the company. It’s a busy place, especially when the mustard is ready for harvesting. You’ll see tractors and carts moving in and out all day long. We don't have a fancy showroom; we have a mill and some storage space. It’s dusty and loud, but it’s real work. The people involved are all locals from the Sonitpur district who have been growing mustard for generations. We talk about things like seed quality and how the rains affected the crop last month. It’s not a polished operation with a big marketing budget. We just focus on the oil and the seeds. We keep things simple and try to make sure everyone gets a fair shake for the hard work they put in out in the fields under the hot sun.
