About us

OUR STORY

An agriculture company's roots and DNA are deeply intertwined with the soil it cultivates, the crops it grows, and the communities it nourishes

At HEDLA HARVEST CORPORATION, we honor and carry forward the legacy of our forefathers who dedicated their lives to nurturing the land and reaping its bounty. It is this story and heritage that form the foundation of our commitment to excellence, sustainability, and global impact in the agriculture industry

1881-1915

THE UNTOLD STORY

The HALDER family's journey began in the late 19th century when they acquired a few acres of land in a village in West Bengal, India. Observing the potential of agriculture as a decent means of livelihood, the family began farming and dedicated themselves to maximize their land's productivity through hard work and persistence. This marked the beginning of their long and storied story in the agricultural industry. They overcame the initial challenges of farming with dedication and hard work. Slowly and steadily, they began to acquire more land, and by 1915, they had become a prominent farming family in the region

1915-1945

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNING TO FLOURISHING LEGACY

The farming legacy continued to flourish, the family gradually acquired more and more lands, and by the 1940s, they had expanded their holdings to over 1000 acres of fertile land. In 1930 they established their first rice mill, the largest that time in West Bengal. The family's success was not just limited to agriculture, and they were also known for their philanthropic efforts in the local community. Their journey from humble beginnings to becoming successful landowners was a testament to their hard work and dedication, as well as their deep understanding of the land and the importance of indigenous farming practices

1945-1970

THE TURMOIL IN THE WAKE OF CHANGE

After reaching the height of their farming success, the HALDER family's fortunes took a downturn in the years following Indian independence. Political unrest and the implementation of land reforms by the Indian government impacted agriculture business. Situations were not convenient for large landowners and eventually the family had to sell off their land holdings. Despite the challenges, the HALDER family remained committed to agriculture, and their passion for farming never waned. Over the next few decades, the family pursued other career options, but the memory of their farming legacy stayed with them

1970-2016
