Gkishan Farmer Producer Company Limited

We are based at number 66 in Periyavettupalayam. It is a small setup but it serves its purpose for what we do as a farmer producer company. Gkishan is mostly just a name for the group of us who work the land around this area. We decided to come together because doing everything alone as a single farmer is getting harder every year. By being a company, we can handle the buying and selling part of the business a bit better than we could on our own. Our office isn't anything special to look at, just a room where we keep our files and meet to talk about the planting schedule. Most of the time, you won't find many of us inside because we are out on the farms doing the actual work. It is a lot of manual labor and the sun can be quite punishing during the summer months here. We grow whatever the season allows, and we try to make sure we are getting the best out of the soil we have. There are no big bosses here, just people who know how to grow things and want to make a living from it. We have some older folks and some younger ones in the group, and we all just try to learn from each other as we go. It’s a simple way of life and it keeps us connected to the land. Anyway, that’s just how things are at number 66.
