Patakhanda Turmericfarmer Producercompany Limited

We are a bunch of turmeric farmers based in Melsikia. Our group is registered under Patakhanda Turmeric Farmer Producer Company Limited. We use Gamu Mallik’s place as our main point of contact. Turmeric is the main thing we grow here. It’s a crop that requires a lot of attention and the right kind of soil, which we fortunately have in Melsikia. We started this company because it makes more sense to work as a group than as individuals. It’s not a fancy operation at all. Most of the time we are just out in the dirt or sitting around discussing the latest harvest. We don’t have a big office with air conditioning. We just meet up where it’s convenient. Being a farmer producer company means we handle everything from planting to selling the dried turmeric. It’s a long process. The yellow color of the turmeric gets on everything during the harvest season, but that’s just how it goes. We don't use any corporate language because we aren't corporate people. We are just farmers trying to get a fair price for what we grow. It’s a simple goal but it takes a lot of effort. We help each other out with tools and labor when needed. It’s a community thing more than anything else. We’re just regular people working hard to make a living from the land we’ve always known. We hope the next season is a good one for everyone here in Melsikia.
