Thukuwupu Navkrishak Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our group is called Thukuwupu Navkrishak Farmers Producer Company Limited and we are situated in Satoi Village within Zunheboto. Ahoshe Sumi is the main contact person for our little setup here. We are mostly just neighbors who have been farming these hills for a long time. It’s not easy work, especially when the seasons change and the rains get heavy. We decided to call ourselves a company so we could work together on things like getting seeds and finding people to buy our produce. We don't have a big headquarters or anything. We mostly just meet at each other's houses or out in the fields. It’s a very local thing. We don't use any corporate jargon or have big meetings with slides. We just sit down and talk about what needs to be planted and how we’re going to get it to town. Life in Satoi is quiet, and we like it that way. Most of our time is spent outside. We aren't trying to be a big deal. We just want to make sure the farming stays viable for us and the younger ones coming up. It’s a lot of sweat and effort, but it’s what we know. We just keep our heads down and do the work as best as we can every day. It’s what our fathers did and it’s what we do now.
