Pattiam Farmer Producer Company Limited

Down in Room No. 5/200, P O Pathayakunnu in Pattiam, Thalassery, you will find the Pattiam Farmer Producer Company Limited. We are right in the heart of the village area. It’s a small room, but it’s enough for what we need. The farmers around Pattiam have been working these lands for generations, and this company is just our way of standing together. Thalassery is known for many things, but for us, it’s all about the soil and the crops we can get out of it. We don't have a marketing department or people in suits. Most of us are more comfortable in the fields than behind a desk. We use the room in Pathayakunnu to keep our accounts straight and to meet up when we need to decide on something important. You’ll often hear a lot of loud talking because we don't always agree on the best way to move forward, but we always figure it out. It’s a real local effort. The address isn't in a big business park; it’s just a room in a building that everyone in the village knows. We deal with the day-to-day problems of farming, like pests or the price of fertilizer. There’s no secret to what we do. It’s just a bunch of neighbors trying to make a living and keeping the farming tradition alive in Pattiam. We just take it one season at a time.
