Thennala Agro farmers producer Company Ltd. is incorporated as Producer Company on 09/09/2015. This company is owned by Kudumbashree farmers of Thennala Panchayat - Malappuram district. The main objective of the company involves production and sales of good quality organic rice under the brand “Thennala rice”. Initially for selling the processed rice and rice products, these JLG farmers with the guidance and support received from NABARD, formed “Garima Farmers club”. Although “Thennala rice” got good brand value and demand in market, these farmers were unable to generate sufficient revenue through sales. Due to this, they were forced to sell rice at price demanded by middlemen/suppliers. During 2015, a group of five hundred women farmers took the initiative to form a producer company at Thennala Panchayat. The main activities involve procuring organic paddy, and processing it as rice and rice products at competitive rates. The company has already made tie up with many agencies across the state for marketing rice and rice products.
