Kucholsan Agrofed Farmer Producer Company Limited

Kucholsan Agrofed Farmer Producer Company Limited is our small outfit based in Ampati. We are out in the West Garo Hills, specifically at Chiringpara. Roberth M Marak’s house, number 12, is where we keep our books and meet up. We are just local farmers who decided to join hands. In this part of the country, you have to be tough because the work is hard and the sun can be brutal. We grow whatever the season allows. We thought if we formed a company, we could maybe buy tools and seeds together to save a bit of money. It’s been a learning curve for sure. None of us are experts at filing papers or dealing with the government side of things, but we are getting there. We focus on our local area and the people we have known for years. It’s not about making a huge profit or becoming famous. We just want to make sure that the farming life is still possible for our children. Sometimes we have meetings under the shade of a tree or at Roberth’s place to figure out the logistics of the next harvest. It’s a community effort. We just take it as it comes, trying to do right by the land and each other. We are just regular people working hard. When the harvest is finally ready, it's a relief for everyone. We put a lot of sweat into this land.
