Chandoli Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are basically just a group of farmers around Chandauli who decided it was time to work together. It gets tough out here when you’re on your own, especially with the prices and the way the weather changes every season. Our office is set up over at Parvati Devi’s place, 75/B in Chhatem. It’s not a fancy office or anything like that, just a room where we meet up and talk about what we need for the next planting. Mostly we deal with local crops. Everyone knows how it is in Saidraja, you just do the work and hope the market is fair to you. We started this company because we wanted to have a way to get things done without waiting for someone else to help us. It’s a lot of paperwork sometimes, which none of us really like, but we manage. People stop by the Chhatem address whenever they have a question about seeds or if they want to join in. We don't have a big marketing team or anyone telling us what to say. It’s just us. Some days are slow and we just sit around and talk, and other days it’s hectic when the harvest is coming in. We try to keep things simple and honest. If you are looking for us, we are right there near the main part of the village. It feels good to have a name for what we do, even if it’s a long one.
