Atwavaik Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us over in Atwabak, which is part of the Bangarmau area in Unnao. We are based at Shitendar Kumar’s house, which we also call Shanti Swaroop. We are the Atwavaik Farmer Producer Company Limited. It sounds like a big name, but we are just a small group of local farmers. We got together because it was hard to manage everything by ourselves. Now we share the work of getting seeds and selling our produce. It is a lot of back and forth between the fields and the market. We do not have any fancy equipment or big trucks of our own yet. We just use what is available in the village. Bangarmau is where we grew up, so we know every corner of these fields. Most days are long and we are usually tired by the time the sun goes down. We do not have a website or any fancy advertisements. We just talk to people in the market and in the village. The paperwork for the company can be a headache, but Shitendar helps keep it all straight. We are just trying to make a honest living from the soil. Some years are tough when the weather does not cooperate, but being in a group helps us stay afloat. We do not have any big corporate talk here. We just work hard and hope for the best with every season we plant.
