Muthylamma Kisan Mitra Sangam Turmericfarmers Producer Company Limited

Muthylamma Kisan Mitra Sangam Turmericfarmers Producer Company Limited is a bit of a long name, but it says exactly what we are. We are based in Chinnanagaram, Nellikudur, at 2-209/1. This is a producer company, which means it’s all about the farmers coming together. Our main thing is turmeric. If you come by during the right season, the whole area feels like it is involved in the harvest. We aren't a big corporate office with glass walls. We are right there where the farmers are. Most of our time is spent talking to the growers in the Sangam to see what they need and how we can get a better price for the turmeric. It is hard work and the days are long, especially when the weather isn't cooperating. We deal with everything from seeds to the final dried product. The office is a simple place where we meet to discuss the market or the rain. It is a community effort more than anything else. We don't have a big staff, just people who know about turmeric and want to help the local farmers get a fair deal. There is nothing fancy about it, just a lot of practical talk and making sure everyone is working together. It can be a struggle sometimes, but being part of a group makes it a bit easier for everyone.
