Mangai Women Farmer Producer Company Limited

Mangai Women Farmer Producer Company Limited is based out of Olaipadi Village. We are located at No.4/231/2 on Ammankovil Street. It is a quiet place most of the time, except when we are all gathering to discuss the crops. Most of us have been farming our whole lives, just like our parents did. We deal with whatever the season brings, whether it is a good rain or a dry spell that makes things difficult. Being a group of women farmers means we understand each other’s schedules, like having to balance the fields with taking care of the home. We set this up so we could talk about seeds and fertilizers without having to travel too far. Everything happens right here in the village. Sometimes we meet on the porch and just go over what needs to be planted next. It is practical work. We don't use big words or have long meetings that don't go anywhere. We just want to make sure the farming stays viable for the families here in Olaipadi. The address on Ammankovil Street is where we keep our records and where anyone from the post can find us. It’s not a corporate setup. It is just a bunch of neighbors trying to make the most of what we grow. We share tools sometimes and give advice when a crop isn't looking right. It's just local life and looking after the land the best we can every day. There is always something to do.
