About Kottayam Farmers Producer Company Limited – Agriculture & Farming in Kottayam
Kottayam Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically a collective effort by a bunch of us locals. We set up our main point of contact at Chappuzhasseril in the Kottayam West P.O. area. Most of us involved are farmers ourselves, so we know how difficult it can be to get a fair price for what we grow. We decided to register as a company so we could pool our resources and have a bit more say in the market. Our office isn't anything special. It’s just a room where we keep the ledgers and meet up once a week to discuss our plans. Kottayam is a place where agriculture is the backbone of the community, but the younger generation isn't always keen on it. We are trying to show that if we work together, it can still be a viable way of life. There is a lot of paperwork involved in running a producer company, which none of us really enjoys. We would much rather be out in the fields. But we take turns handling the admin side of things. It has been a bit of a struggle to get everything organized, but we are slowly getting the hang of it. We don't have a big boss or anything. We just make decisions together. It’s about helping each other out and making sure our community stays strong. It is hard work, but it feels right.
