Manam 10K Farmer Producer Company Limited

If you head out to Paliyapattu Village, you’ll find us at No.353 in Kulathur. We’re the Manam 10K Farmer Producer Company Limited, which basically means a bunch of us in the village decided to put our resources together. Paliyapattu is a small place, and everybody knows everyone else’s business, especially when it comes to farming. Our office in Kulathur is where we meet up to decide what we’re going to do for the next season. It’s a simple village life, and the work is mostly manual. We deal with whatever the local farmers are growing, trying to make sure nothing goes to waste. The name says 10K, but we’re just taking it one step at a time with our own hands. Most days, you’ll find someone sitting outside the building under the shade. We don't have any big fancy equipment or a polished front desk. It’s just wooden tables and a lot of ledgers. The air in Kulathur is usually fresh, except during the harvest when there’s dust everywhere. We all live around here, so we care about how the crops turn out. It’s not just about the money; it’s about keeping the village going. We spend a lot of time walking the fields and checking the water levels. It’s a quiet existence but we stay busy enough with the land. It’s just how things are done in Paliyapattu, year after year.
