South Indian Farmers Producer Company Limited

South Indian Farmers Producer Company Limited is located at 1/150 North Street. We are in Alonkottai, which is part of Mannargudi in the Thiruvarur district. This part of Tamil Nadu is famous for its fields and we are right in the middle of it. We started this company because we wanted to have more control over our own farming work. It’s a collective thing. Our office on North Street is where we meet up to discuss the harvest or the price of supplies. It’s a very basic setup. Thiruvarur can be quite wet during the monsoon, so we spend a lot of time worrying about the weather. We aren't a big corporation with people in suits. We are mostly in our regular clothes, coming in from the fields to check the books. Alonkottai is a small place where news travels fast. We try to be fair and just get the work done. There is always a lot of noise and talking when the farmers come together. It’s how we operate. We don't use a lot of marketing talk because we don't need it. People know who we are and where to find us. We’ve been at this for some time now and it’s a tough life, but it’s our life. We just keep moving forward one day at a time in Mannargudi.
