Thanporunai Farmers Producer Company Limited

You can find us right behind the police quarters at 3/430-312. It’s a quiet enough spot most of the time. Thanporunai Farmers Producer Company Limited is basically just a group of local farmers trying to make things work together. We don't have a big fancy building. It’s more of a functional space where we gather to talk about the crops. We handle whatever the members are growing in their fields. Sometimes it’s grain, sometimes it’s vegetables. It depends on the time of year. We spend a lot of time on the phone or out in the dirt. Being near the quarters means we see the patrols coming and going. Our office is a place where anyone can drop in for a cup of tea and a chat about market prices. It’s not always easy keeping everyone on the same page. We have meetings that go on longer than they should because farmers love to talk. We are just trying to get by and help each other out. There’s no big boss in a suit here. We all know what it’s like to work the land. The paperwork is the hardest part for us. We’d much rather be outside. But someone has to keep the records. We’ve been here for a while now and most people in the area know where to find us. It is just honest work for our local families.
