Balagram Agri Farmers Producer Company Limited

Balagram Agri Farmers Producer Company Limited is situated in Thekkeperur, Balagram, which is in the Kallar Karunapuram area of Idukki. Since we are in Idukki, the landscape is all hills and steep roads. We are a group of farmers who decided to work together under one name to make things a bit easier for everyone. Our office is a simple place where we meet to talk about crops, weather, and prices. There is nothing fancy about it; just some wooden chairs and a lot of registers. We deal with the realities of farming in the high-range areas, where the soil is good but the terrain is tough. Everyone here is a farmer first. We know what it is like to worry about a late monsoon or a drop in market prices. We don't use corporate talk because that is not how we live. We just speak plainly about what needs to be done on the land. Some days we are out in the fields, and other days we are sitting in the office trying to figure out the logistics of moving our produce down the hills. It is a community effort, really. We all have a stake in it, and we just try to help each other out when things get difficult. It is a busy life, but it is the life we know. We just take things one day at a time here.
