Thanjavur Coconut Farmers Producer Company Limited

If you go down to Amma Kovil Street in Kelauluvur, you’ll find Thanjavur Coconut Farmers Producer Company Limited at number 235. We are located in Orathanadu, specifically the Ulur West part. This area is famous for coconuts, so that is what we spend all our time on. Our days are filled with the sound of trees and the smell of the husks. It’s a very specific kind of work. We aren't a big corporation with a lot of rules. We are more like a group of neighbors who have coconut groves and needed a central place to organize. The office is right on the street, and there is usually a lot of activity with trucks or carts moving through. We deal with everything from the raw coconuts to the dried ones. It’s a messy business sometimes. We have piles of stuff everywhere and we’re always trying to keep it organized. The people working here are locals who have been climbing trees or processing coconuts for years. We don't have any fancy mission statements or things like that. We just want to get a fair price and make sure the harvest doesn't go to waste. It’s a simple life but it keeps us very busy. If you walk down Amma Kovil Street, you can’t miss us. There’s always someone around to talk to, usually sitting near the front door during the afternoon heat.
