In the lush, fertile landscape of Dakshin Durgapur, within the Tentultala Gram Panchayat of Namkhana block in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, lies the heart of Badabon Harvest’s Dudheswar rice production. This serene village is home to the dedicated farmer group known as Dakshin Durgapur Badabon SHG, comprising 15 passionate farmers who are committed to sustainable agriculture and preserving traditional farming practices.
The journey of Badabon Harvest Dudheswar Rice begins with the careful selection of high-quality seeds. The farmers of Dakshin Durgapur Badabon SHG choose the best seeds to ensure a healthy and robust crop. Sowing typically takes place during the early monsoon season, when the soil is rich and moist, providing an ideal environment for the rice seedlings to thrive.
The farmers employ traditional and sustainable farming methods, avoiding the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Instead, they use organic compost and natural pest control techniques, promoting a healthy ecosystem and ensuring the rice is free from harmful chemicals. This commitment to sustainability not only protects the environment but also preserves the integrity and nutritional value of the rice.
As the rice plants grow, they require constant care and attention. The farmers regularly weed the fields by hand, ensuring that the rice plants have enough space and nutrients to flourish. They also manage water levels meticulously, using traditional irrigation techniques to maintain the right balance of moisture in the fields.
Dudheswar rice is a short-duration crop, taking about four months to mature. The farmers carefully monitor the rice fields, waiting for the grains to ripen fully. Once the rice is ready for harvest, it is carefully handpicked, preserving the quality of each grain. This labor-intensive process ensures that only the finest rice makes it to the next stage.
After harvesting, the rice stalks are spread out in the open to dry under the sun. This natural drying process helps to reduce the moisture content in the grains, making them easier to store and process. Once dried, the rice is threshed to separate the grains from the stalks. The farmers use traditional methods to gently thresh the rice, preserving the integrity of the grains.
The dried and threshed rice grains are then sent to a local mill, where they are carefully milled to remove the husk and polish the grains. The milling process is conducted with utmost precision to ensure that the Dudheswar rice retains its natural aroma and nutritional value. The milled rice is then packed in airtight containers to maintain its freshness and flavor.
Throughout the entire process, from seed selection to packaging, stringent quality checks are conducted to ensure that Badabon Harvest Dudheswar Rice meets the highest standards. The farmers take pride in their work, and their dedication to quality is reflected in every grain of rice.
