Ilayangudi Block Women Farmers Producer Company Limited

Ilayangudi Block Women Farmers Producer Company Limited is found at 1-108/Na Mela Street. We are in Vani Village, which is part of the Alimaurai Post in Ilayangudi. Like a lot of villages, everyone here knows everyone else's business. We started this group because the women farmers in our block needed a way to stand together. Farming on your own is tough, especially when you have to deal with buyers and suppliers who might not take you seriously. By coming together on Mela Street, we’ve found a bit more strength. Our office is just a room in the village where we meet up to plan our next steps. It can get pretty loud when we’re all there, everyone trying to have their say at once. We don't have any fancy corporate structure. We just work together because it makes sense. We handle the crops we grow in Vani Village and try to get a fair deal for all our members. There’s a lot of paperwork that none of us really likes doing, but it’s necessary to keep things official. We aren't looking for fame or big profits. We just want to make sure the women in Ilayangudi can keep their farms going and provide for their homes. It’s a community effort, plain and simple. We take things as they come and help each other out.
