Kunnandarkoil Kalasam Groundnut Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our office for the Kunnandarkoil Kalasam Groundnut Farmer Producer Company Limited is located in Kke Nagar, within the village of Andakulam. Groundnuts are what we know best around here. If you walk by our place, you can usually hear the sound of the nuts being moved or the chatter of the farmers coming in from the fields. It’s a dry area, which is actually pretty good for the groundnuts once they’ve been pulled from the soil. We spend a lot of our time making sure the nuts are dried properly and sorted before anything else happens to them. The building we use is quite basic, just some sturdy walls and a roof to keep the sun off. It gets pretty dusty inside when the bags are being moved around, but nobody really minds the mess. Most of us grew up in this part of Andakulam, so we know the families who are part of the producer company. It isn't just a business for us; it’s more about the community keeping things moving. We don't use any high-tech systems, just simple scales and logbooks to keep everything straight. Sometimes the power goes out and we have to do everything by hand, which slows things down, but we are used to that. We just focus on the groundnuts and making sure each farmer gets their fair share when the work is done.
