Himalayan Farmers Producer Company Limited

Himalayan Farmers Producer Company Limited is based in Srinagar, specifically in the Nowgam area. If you look for us, we are in Room No. 208 on the second floor of the Sheikh Saud Complex, which is a busy place with lots of other shops and offices. Naseer Ahmad Shah is the one who looks after the mail and the main office tasks there. We are a bunch of farmers from around the region who decided to work together under one name. Farming up here in the mountains is a different kind of job than down in the plains. You have to deal with the cold and the short growing seasons. We use the office in Nowgam to organize our meetings and keep our documents in order for the agriculture department. It's much better than everyone trying to do their own thing alone. Most of the time, we are out in the fields or traveling between the villages, but the Sheikh Saud Complex is where we meet to talk about prices and seeds. It’s a simple setup. We don't have a lot of fancy furniture or anything, just a few desks and some chairs where we can sit and drink tea while we plan for the next season. Being part of a producer company helps us get a better handle on the market. We are just regular people from the local villages trying to keep our farming traditions going in a way that actually works today.
