Kandili Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us at 1/397 on the Krishnagiri Main Road. We’re located in Gajalnaickenpatti, which is in the Kandili area near Tirupattur. It’s a busy road, so there’s always something going on outside our door. We’re a producer company made up of farmers from the local villages. We decided to start this because it’s hard to do everything alone. By working together, we can get better prices for our crops and share the costs of things like transport. The office is pretty basic. We have a few desks and some chairs for when the members stop by to talk. We spend a lot of time discussing the weather and the crops, just like farmers always have. We aren't experts in business school stuff, but we know how to run a farm and how to look after each other. Being in the Vellore district, we have a lot of different things growing around here. We try to be helpful to anyone who joins, and we don't put on any airs. It’s just us, the same people you see at the local market. We handle the paperwork and the sales so the guys can stay in the fields. It’s a lot of work and sometimes it's stressful when the markets are down. But we keep at it because it's our livelihood. We're just local people doing our best for the community.
