Pala Mythri Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group, Pala Mythri Farmer Producer Company Limited, runs out of the Sks Building. The specific number is 134/A in Puliyannoor P O, over in Thekkummury, Pala. Being a farmer producer company means we spend a lot of our time talking to the local growers. It’s a collective effort, really. The office isn’t much to look at, just a room in the Sks Building where we keep our records and meet up to discuss things. Pala is a place where everyone knows about farming, so we fit right in with the community. We don't have a lot of fancy furniture or high-tech systems. Most of our time is spent discussing crop prices or how to move the produce to the next town. It gets noisy when a few of us gather to talk shop or complain about the pests. The building is a bit old, but it serves us well enough for what we need. We started this because we needed a way to organize ourselves better as a group. It’s a lot of coordination and phone calls. We handle the logistics of getting things from the farms in Thekkummury to the markets where they can be sold. Sometimes the paperwork gets behind because we are busy in the fields, but the actual farm work never stops. We aren't some big city firm. We are just people from the Puliyannoor area trying to make things work for the farmers. It’s practical work that doesn't stop.
