75 Thalluru Agri Producer Company

Our group is based in Tyalluru, which is part of the Pedakurapadu Mandal. The office is just a simple house, H.No. 3-54, right in the village. 75 Thalluru Agri Producer Company was started because a lot of us farmers in this area needed a way to work together. We don't have a big fancy office in a city building. Most days, you'll find someone sitting on the porch or in the front room handling the books and taking notes. We talk about the crops, the rain, and what the market prices look like in the nearby towns. It’s a very local thing. Everyone knows everyone else around here, so business is mostly done through talk and handshakes before the paperwork even starts. We deal with whatever is growing in the fields at the time. Sometimes it's chillies, sometimes it's grain, depends on the year and the season. The 75 in our name comes from our local area identity. We aren't trying to be some massive company with branches everywhere. We just want to make sure the people living in 75 Thalluru get what they need for their farms without having to travel too far into the city. It gets very hot in the afternoons, so we usually do the heavy office work in the mornings or late evening when it is cooler. It’s a basic life, but we like being our own bosses and looking after the village interests together.
