Marungapuri Collective Farming Farmer Producer Company Limited

Marungapuri Collective Farming Farmer Producer Company Limited is located at 39A/5/7-1, on Meenakchi Amman Kovil Street. We are over in KK Nagar, in the Thuvarangurichi area of Marungapuri. The street is named after the temple, so it's a place with a lot of history and local feel. Our group was formed because we wanted the farmers in Marungapuri to have more control over their own work. We don't have a slick office with fancy furniture; it’s just a basic room where we keep our registers and meet up after being out in the sun all day. KK Nagar is a good spot for us because it’s central for the people coming in from the surrounding fields. We talk about real things like the price of groundnuts or why the rain is late this year. It’s a straightforward business where we all know each other by name. There’s no corporate hierarchy here, just a bunch of us trying to make the collective work so everyone gets a fair shake. Thuvarangurichi is our home, and we want to see it do well. We spend our time managing the harvests and making sure the supplies are distributed right. It’s a lot of talking and a lot of hard work, but we prefer it this way. If you walk down Meenakchi Amman Kovil Street, you’ll see us there, just doing what we’ve always done. It’s not perfect, but it is our way of life.
