Puthuvazhvu Banana Farmers Producercompany Limited

If you head over to Sirayankuzhi, you will find the Puthuvazhvu Banana Farmers Producer Company Limited at number 15-42A in Mannaranvilai. We are near the Kanjiracode post office, which is a handy landmark for anyone trying to find us. As you can probably guess from our name, we are all about bananas. It’s the main thing we grow in this part of the world, and we have a lot of experience with it. Our group was started because we wanted to have more control over how our fruit is sold. Growing bananas is tricky because they can be quite delicate, and the market prices change every single day. The office we have in Mannaranvilai isn't anything fancy; it’s just a place where we meet up to talk about irrigation, pests, and who is buying this week. There’s usually a bit of a breeze coming through, which is nice when we are sitting around discussing the latest harvest numbers. We are just a bunch of local guys who know the land and know the crops. We aren't interested in sounding like a big city corporation because that’s not who we are. We are just farmers who realized that if we stick together at Sirayankuzhi, we have a better chance of making a decent living for our families. It’s a simple life, but we take pride in the work we do every day for the community.
