Bannari Amman Sugars Ltd.

We’ve been here at 1/278 Main Road in Allithurai for quite a while now. If you know Somarasampettai, you probably know where we are. It gets pretty busy around here with the tractors and trucks coming in from the fields. Dealing with sugar isn't always easy because the weather in Tiruchirappalli changes so much, but we just keep at it. Most of the guys working here are locals from around Tamil Nadu. We start early in the morning when it’s still a bit cool. Sometimes the machinery acts up or the power goes out, which is just how things go in this part of the world. We spend a lot of time checking the bags and making sure everything is moving like it should. It’s a lot of physical work and the smell of the raw cane is everywhere during the peak season. People stop by the office to talk about the harvest or just to settle accounts. We don't have a fancy lobby or anything, just some chairs and a desk where we handle the paperwork. Sometimes it gets a bit dusty with the traffic on the main road outside, but you get used to it. We just focus on getting the sugar out to where it needs to go. It’s a simple setup we’ve got here in this corner of the district. We don't really do much besides the daily grind of processing and moving stock. It’s just what we do every day. We hope the rains come at the right time for the next batch.
