The
back bone of our country is the toiling farmers. The farmers of
India are not able to meet their needs by selling the agricultural
produces they produce. While those who buy the agricultural produce
are processing it and selling at a very high rate which is 2.5
times the purchase price. The Indian farmer community is exploited
by intermediaries and industries. To overcome this injustice this
society procures the rubber produces of the marginal rubber growers
and process it to preserve and sell at a higher price whenever
the requirement for it is seen in the market, whereby the rubber
producing members are getting regular price within a month of
supply by them and at the end of the year incentive / bonus price
is given to them, if any profit is received by the society over
and above the statutory reserves and the reserves for future developmental
programme of the society as decided by the Board of Directors.
All the rubber produces are procured through more than 100 collection
centers throughout the Meenachil Taluk. Two Factories and one
Crepe Mill are owned by the society.
