Kissan Pravasi Agrispices Farmer Producer Company Limited

You can find us at the Kacherry Parambil Complex, which is situated on Krishi Bhavan Road in Thonnalloor. The official name is Kissan Pravasi Agrispices Farmer Producer Company Limited, but that’s a bit of a mouthful for everyday talk. We’re basically a group of people coming together to handle spices and agricultural products from this area. Our office at 5-742F isn't much more than a desk, some chairs, and a lot of bags waiting to be moved. It gets pretty loud and hectic when the harvest comes in. Spices are a tricky thing to handle because of the drying and the sorting, but we’ve been doing it long enough to know the routine. We aren't fancy people with suits; we’re usually in work clothes ready to move crates. The location on Krishi Bhavan Road is convenient because we’re close to other agricultural offices. We don't spend money on big advertisements or pretty brochures. Most of our connections are made through word of mouth among the farmers here. Sometimes the prices for spices go up and down and it makes things difficult, but we just try to balance it out as we go. We’re just a bunch of locals working together to make sure the produce from our fields actually gets somewhere useful. It’s a lot of coordination and phone calls, but we get it done through hard work and being present at the complex every single day.
