Maa Batwasani Farmer Producer Company Limited

Maa Batwasani Farmer Producer Company Limited is based in Basti, specifically in the Hallau village area. We use a space over by St. Thomas High School, which is where Sebastian stays. It is a bit of a landmark for us around here. We are a bunch of farmers who decided it was time to work together instead of competing with one another. Basti is our home, and we know these lands better than anything else. The name of our company is important to us, but the actual work is just the same old farming we have always done. We deal with rice, wheat, and whatever else the season allows for. Most days are spent in the sun, and the office work usually happens in the evenings when we are tired but need to get the records straight. We don't have any polished speeches about what we do. We just grow food and hope to get a price that makes the hard work worth it. Being near the school means there is always a bit of noise and life around us, which is nice. We are just a local group, mostly friends and relatives, trying to keep our farms going in a world that seems to be getting more complicated for small growers. We don’t have much in the way of fancy equipment, but we have each other, and that counts for a lot in this business. It is just about survival and doing a job we know how to do well.
