Vel Collective Farm Producer Company Limited

You can find Vel Collective Farm Producer Company Limited at No.2/167 in Nallagoundampalayam. We’re part of the Pilikkalpalayam area in P.Velur Taluk. It’s a quiet village setting, and that’s exactly how we like it. The collective is made up of farmers from this local area. We started this because we realized that working alone was getting harder every year with the rising costs. Our office is a small building that used to be something else, and we’ve just put in some desks and chairs for the bookkeeping. We don’t spend much time sitting down, though. Most of the day is spent visiting the different members' farms to see how the crops are coming along. We deal with whatever the local soil produces, whether it’s vegetables or grains. The roads around P.Velur are often narrow, so moving the produce can be a bit of a challenge during harvest time. We don't have a big corporate structure or any fancy titles for the staff. We’re all just farmers at the end of the day. Sometimes we argue about the best way to do things, but we always figure it out. It’s a practical way to manage the farming business. We keep our costs low so that more of the money goes back to the people doing the planting. It’s a simple life, focused on the seasons and the harvest. We’re just trying to make a decent living.
