Labedi Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our company is located in the village of Labedi, over in the Baheri area of Bareilly. We work out of Lal Singh’s place. It’s a simple setup where we handle everything related to our farming group. Bareilly is a big place, but out here in Labedi, things are a bit slower and more focused on the land. We started this because we wanted a way to organize ourselves better. Most of us have been farming for years, so we know the struggles. It isn’t some big corporate venture. It’s just a group of local people trying to make the most of what we grow. We spend most of our time dealing with the logistics of getting crops to market. Sometimes the weather ruins the plans, or the trucks don’t show up, but we just deal with it. It’s not a polished business by any means. If you come to see us, you’ll find us in the middle of everyday chores. We don't use a lot of fancy words or have a big strategy. We just look at what needs to be done today and we do it. Lal Singh handles a lot of the coordination from the village. It’s a practical way to work together. We’ve been here for a while now and most people in the area know what we are doing. It is a lot of work but we like being our own bosses in a way.
