Palamaner Sericulture Farmers Producer Company Limited

We are the Palamaner Sericulture Farmers Producer Company Limited. Our place is at number 13 in Mamadugu, which is part of Palamaner. This company was put together by a group of us who work in sericulture. If you don't know, that means we deal with silkworms and producing silk. It’s very specific work and it takes a lot of patience. Our office in Mamadugu is where we coordinate everything. It’s not a big, fancy place, just a room where we can sit down and talk about the cocoons and the market. Palamaner has a long history with this kind of work, and we are just carrying that on. We don't have a corporate structure with bosses in suits. We are all farmers first. We spend our days checking on the worms and making sure they have enough leaves to eat. It’s a lot of physical labor and keeping an eye on the temperature. When we meet at the office, it’s usually to talk about how the latest batch is doing or to figure out transportation. We use simple language because that’s all we need. We aren't trying to sell anyone a dream, we are just producing silk like we always have. It’s a quiet life in Mamadugu, but it keeps us busy. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs doing every day. It is just the way it has always been for us.
