Kishanutthan Farmer Producer Company Limited

Kishanutthan Farmer Producer Company Limited is basically us, a bunch of people from around Tolabakhri and Saur Bazar. We set things up at Kanhaiya Kumar and Dinesh Kumar’s place. It’s not some big glass building, just a regular spot where we meet up to figure out what to do with our produce. In West Saur Bazar, things move at their own pace. We spend a lot of time worrying about the markets and whether we can get a fair price for what we grow. It’s hard work, standing out in the fields all day, but having this company helps us stay a bit more organized. Most days you will see us arguing over simple stuff like which fertilizer is best or complaining about the heat. We don't have a big mission statement or anything, we just want to make sure our families are okay. The soil here is good if you treat it right. We are just regular people, not businessmen in suits. Sometimes we forget to file the papers on time, but we get there eventually. If you walk through Panchsahuriya, you will find us. We know everyone around here, and everyone knows us. It feels better working as a group instead of trying to do everything alone. That is why we started this whole thing in the first place. It is just life in the village, really. We keep our boots muddy and our heads down, focusing on the next harvest. It is honest work.
