Milagai Kalasam Farmers Producer Companylimited

Our place is located on Pallakukara Street in Muthumariyamman Nagar. It’s down in Kamuthi, part of Ramanathapuram. If you know the area, it's not too hard to find us at number 43/40. We started this because the farmers around here needed a way to work together instead of everyone doing their own thing separately. It’s a producer company, so it’s really about the people growing the crops. We spend a lot of time talking to the members and trying to figure out the logistics for the season. Sometimes the rains are late or the prices aren't what we hoped for, but we deal with it as a group. The office isn't very big, and it gets a bit crowded when everyone comes in at once. We don't use fancy computers for everything; a lot of it is still notebooks and talking face to face. It feels more natural that way. Being in Kamuthi means we understand the local soil and what grows best in this heat. We aren't trying to be some big city firm. We are just local people working on local farming issues. It’s a lot of physical work and planning. We stay busy through the harvest and then things slow down a bit. We’ve lived in Ramanathapuram most of our lives, so this is home for us and our families. It’s just honest work in the village.
