Alakkudiaram Farmer Producer Company Limited

If you are looking for us, we are located at 2/20 Nanalpadugai in Alakkudy. It’s actually at Ganthimathi’s place. We are a small group of farmers from around the Sirkali and Nagapattinam area. This part of the country is very much tied to the land and the water. We started this producer company because we wanted to have a bit more control over how our crops were being handled. It’s not a big fancy office with glass walls; it’s just a house where we meet up and keep our records. You’ll often find us sitting on the porch talking about the latest harvest or what the market is doing in town. The roads around here can be a bit rough after the rains, but we are used to it. We deal with whatever crops the season brings us. Sometimes it’s paddy, sometimes it’s other things. We aren't trying to be some massive company. We just want to make sure the farmers in Alakkudy get a fair deal for their hard work. There’s always someone dropping by with news or asking for advice on their fields. It’s a community thing more than a corporate thing. We don't have fancy titles or uniforms. We just wear our regular work clothes and get on with the business of farming. It is a simple life, and we like it that way even when things get a bit stressful with the crops.
