Dhakshinendia Farmers Producer Companylimited

The Dhakshinendia Farmers Producer Company is based out of Chand Mahal, which is on Chathumkulam Road in the Pattikkad area. Specifically, we are at building number 22/60A. This part of Pananchery is where most of us grew up, so it felt natural to start the company here in Mundikkode. Chand Mahal isn’t a palace or anything, despite the name; it’s just our workspace where we manage the farmers' collective. It’s a bit of a drive out to Pattikkad P.O., but we like being out this way where things are a bit more connected to the land. The road outside can get a bit muddy when the monsoons hit, but we don't mind much. We spend a lot of time sitting around the table in the office, trying to figure out the best way to move the produce or handle the latest issues with the crops. It’s not a polished environment. There are usually samples of grain or fruit sitting on the counters, and the floor is rarely perfectly clean because people are always coming in from the farms. We don’t use any corporate talk here. We just speak plainly about what needs to get done for the day. Being part of the Pananchery community is important to us, and we try to run this company in a way that makes sense for the local families. It’s just honest work and a lot of long hours spent at Chand Mahal making things happen.
