Palm Products Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our setup is located near the Krishna Kovil in Arunachalapuram, at address 5/151. It’s registered under Krishnasamy’s care. We are right there in Ariyanayagipuram. The focus for us has always been palm trees. They grow all over this area and provide so much if you know how to work with them. It’s not an easy job, climbing and harvesting, and it takes a lot of patience. This company was put together so we could do more with the palm products instead of just selling the raw stuff for almost nothing. We make a few different things from the palms, whatever people in the local markets are looking for. The office is just a simple room where we keep our records and meet up after the day's work is done. It smells like the earth and dried leaves most of the time. We aren't trying to be some giant industry. We just want to make sure the palm farmers in this part of Ariyanayagipuram get a fair deal. Some days the heat is just too much to stay out long, so we start very early in the morning. Everyone in the village knows where we are, right by the temple. It’s a quiet life, mostly. We just keep our heads down and work with what the trees give us. There are no big speeches here, just the daily grind of the harvest and managing the stock we have.
