Magizham Women Farmer Producer Company Limited

This company is run by women from Achamangalam village. Our address is No.1/172, and it’s where we all meet up. Magizham is the name we chose, and it feels right for us. We live and work in the same place, so the company is just a part of our daily lives. We wake up, handle our chores at home, and then get to work on the farm stuff. We deal with everything from the planting to the books. It’s a lot of learning as we go. We didn’t go to some big business school; we just know how to grow things and how to save money. We sit together on the porch or in the small office space we have. There’s always someone coming by to ask a question or drop off some supplies. It gets busy during harvest time, and everyone has to pitch in. We talk about our kids and the village news while we work. It’s not a fancy operation. We don’t have a website or anything like that, just our names and our reputation in the village. We want to make sure the women here have their own say in how things are sold. It’s about being independent and making sure the work we do in the fields actually pays off. It’s a long road, but we’re doing it together.
