Andhanallur Trichy 10K Farmer Producer Company Limited

Our company is based out of a place in West Keelakondayampettai, specifically at number 16. It’s under the care of Shanmugam and Harikrishnan, who most people around here know anyway. We are the Andhanallur Trichy 10K Farmer Producer Company, which is a long name for a group of local people trying to get things organized. Trichy is a busy area, but our corner of Keelakondayampettai stays pretty focused on the agricultural side of things. We aren't a big corporation with shiny floors; our office is more of a gathering spot for people who have been working the land all their lives. You’ll hear a lot of talk about the river water and the price of grain if you sit in our office for ten minutes. We started this because we were tired of being the last ones to get paid. Now we work together to handle the selling and the buying. It isn't always smooth sailing, and there are plenty of arguments about how things should be run, but that’s just how it is when you have a lot of farmers in one room. We do our best to keep things fair. It’s a practical setup, meant for people who aren't afraid of a little dirt. We don't have a mission statement on the wall, just a calendar and maybe some notes about the next meeting. It’s a real community effort, plain and simple, run by people who know the struggle.
