Kanakagiri Raita Shakthi Millets Producer Company Limited

Our office is at No 159 in Sulekal, which is right in the Kanakagiri area. We focus on millets because that is what grows best in our soil. We are a raita shakthi company, so it is really about the farmers coming together to help each other out. We don't have a lot of money for fancy things. The building is just a simple place where we keep our records and meet with the local growers. Most of us have been farming in Sulekal for years, so we know the struggles firsthand. We talk about the rain a lot, maybe too much, but that’s just how it is when you live off the land. The millets we handle are tough and good for the community. We spend our mornings checking the quality and making sure everything is tracked correctly. It gets a bit crowded in the small office when everyone stops by at once, but we don't mind the company. We don't have a big marketing plan or anything like that. We just do the work and hope for a decent harvest. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to do everything by hand, but we are used to it by now. It is just a group of people from Kanakagiri trying to make a go of it. We take it one season at a time and try to stay honest. We usually close up when it gets dark and the trucks have all left.
