Banasandra Coconut Farmers Producer Company Limited

Our company is Banasandra Coconut Farmers Producer Company Limited and we are located right in Banasandrakasaba Hobli. As the name says, we work with coconut farmers from this local area. It's a lot of manual work and checking on the crops. We aren't some big city corporation with those glass walls and air conditioning everywhere. We spend our time out where the trees are or in our small office in the hobli. The local farmers come by often to talk about the harvest or the current prices. Sometimes we just sit and have tea while discussing how the season is going for everyone. It's a community thing more than a big business to us. We try to keep things simple. If the coconuts are good, then we're happy. There’s always something to do, whether it’s paperwork or helping someone load up a truck. Banasandrakasaba is a quiet enough place most of the time, which suits us just fine. We don't have a lot of fancy equipment, just the basics to get the job done. It's about the people who grow the stuff more than anything else. We’ve been doing this for a while and we know the rhythms of the trees. It isn't always easy work, especially when the rain doesn't come on time, but we manage. We aren't out to impress anyone, just to make sure the farmers get a fair shake at the end of the day.
