Naurangaagro Farmer Producer Company Limited

Smt Tara Devi is the person who really keeps all of us organized here in Nauranga. We are located out in the Rath area of Hamirpur, which is a busy spot but still feels very rural once you get off the main road. We decided to form this company so we could have a bit more bargaining power when it comes time to sell our produce. Dealing with the local traders can be really tough if you are on your own. Tara Devi has a lot of patience with the paperwork, which is lucky because the rest of us usually get frustrated with it. We focus on the traditional crops that can handle the local weather. It is not some big, high-tech operation with shiny new equipment. We have some old storage sheds and do a lot of manual labor. Sometimes we hold our meetings under the big tree near her house because it is cooler there. We talk about the rising price of diesel and why the monsoon rains are late again. It is the same stuff farmers have talked about for a hundred years. Being a registered producer company means we have to keep much better records now, which feels like a bit of a chore to us. We aren't city people, we are just folks from Veer Balnauranga. We help each other out with the harvesting when someone gets behind or falls sick. It is about getting the work finished and hoping for a decent season. We don't have any big corporate promises.
