Vidhyadiraja Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our group is based over in Sooranadu South, specifically at 13/177 Anaswaratrikkunnapuzha South. Vidhyadiraja Farmer Producer Company Limited is really just a bunch of local farmers who decided to work together instead of trying to do everything alone. It gets pretty busy around here during harvest time. We spend a lot of our days talking about seeds, weather, and how the crops are looking this year. The office isn't much to look at, just a practical space where we keep our records and meet up to figure out our next steps. Living and working in this part of the country means you have to be ready for anything. Some days the rain is too much, and other times we are wishing for just a little bit more. We share what we know and help each other out when someone’s equipment breaks down or they need an extra hand in the field. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it works for us. Most of the people involved have lived in this area their whole lives, so we know the land pretty well. We aren’t trying to be some big corporation. We are just trying to make a living from the earth and make sure everyone gets a fair shake. It’s honest work, and it keeps us connected to the community here in Sooranadu South. It’s not always easy, but we just keep at it day after day.
