Integrated Rubber Farmer Producercompany Limited

Our group is over at the Vadakkan Buildings in Mundankal. It's listed as Building No Kp 6/399. We are a farmer producer company, which basically means we are a bunch of people working together on the rubber side of things. In this part of the country, rubber is everywhere you look. Most of the people around Mundankal have at least a few trees. We set up Integrated Rubber because it made sense for the farmers to have a central spot to deal with. The office in the Vadakkan Buildings is where we keep the books and meet up. It's not a large space, but it’s enough for us to sit down and talk about the prices and the collection. You can hear the rain on the roof during the monsoon, which makes it hard to hear anything else. We don’t do things in a very formal way. A lot of the work is just talking to the farmers when they drop by with their sheets or scrap. It’s a community thing more than anything else. We have to keep an eye on the weather because that changes everything with rubber. The building is easy to find if you know the P.O. area. We’ve got a small sign up. Most days are spent looking at the stock and talking to the folks from the nearby estates. It's honest work and it keeps the local economy moving a little bit. We take it one day at a time here.
