Raitha Deevige Farmers Producer Companylimited

Our group, Raitha Deevige, is based out of Hanur, which is down in the Chamrajnagar district. We share some space at the Spanadana CMRC on M.M Hills Road. If you are driving past the TKN petrol bunk, you’ve basically found us already. We started this producer company because the farmers around here needed a better way to work together instead of everyone just doing their own thing alone. It’s mostly just us locals coming together to figure out how to sell what we grow without getting a bad deal at the market. Hanur is a pretty quiet place, but we stay very busy with the crops. We aren't doing anything fancy or using big words to describe what we do. It's just about getting the seeds, the water, and the harvests right every season. Sometimes we meet at the office to talk about prices or the weather, which usually doesn't go the way we want it to. We have quite a few members now, and keeping track of everyone takes up a lot of our time. The office isn't much to look at, just a place to keep our records and meet up. Being near the petrol bunk helps because everyone knows where that is. We just want to make sure the farming stays profitable for the people in our village and the surrounding areas. It’s hard work, but we are all used to it by now and just keep at it.
