Mathur Collective Farm Producer Company Limited

Our office is at No.210 in Ettipatti, which is in the Mathur Block of Uthangarai Taluk. It’s tucked away in the Krishnagiri district, a place where agriculture is pretty much the main thing everyone does. Mathur Collective Farm Producer Company Limited is run by people who live right here in the neighborhood. We don’t have a lot of fancy equipment or a polished office space. It’s more of a place where we store some files and meet up to discuss the season. The roads around Ettipatti can be a bit dusty, especially when the tractors are moving around. We spend a lot of time talking to the farmers in the block, trying to coordinate how we grow and sell things. It’s a lot of coordination, and sometimes things don’t go according to plan, but we just keep moving. The 635306 area is home for us, so we understand the soil and the problems we face with the water. We aren’t trying to be some big national corporation; we just want to make sure the collective works for the people in Mathur. Most days are spent on the phone or driving around to different farms. It’s a lot of back-and-forth, but that is just the nature of this kind of work. We keep things simple and try to help each other out when the harvest comes. It’s not a glamorous life, but it’s our life and we’re used to the pace of the village.
