Dhorimanna Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us right on National Highway 68 at the Samarathal Complex in Dhorimanna. We are a group of farmers from this local area who decided to get together under the name Dhorimanna Farmer Producer Company Limited. Being located right near the highway is actually quite handy for us when it comes to moving our goods around and getting things delivered. This part of the country is quite rugged and dry, and farming here takes a lot of grit and determination. We aren't a corporate setup with people in suits. Most of us are much more comfortable in our dusty working clothes out in the sun. We grow whatever works best in our sandy soil. The main reason we started this whole thing was to have a collective voice. When you are just one small farmer, it’s very hard to get anyone to listen to you or to get a fair price for your crops. Together as a company, we have a bit more say in what happens. We manage our own affairs and try to keep everything as simple as possible. There’s no big marketing team or anything like that here. It’s just us farmers sitting down at the complex and talking about what needs to be done for the next season. We share what we know about seeds and the best way to grow things. It’s a community effort for the people of Dhorimanna who work the land.
