Organic Farmers Market, Adir

Despite this year’s challenges, some native varieties seem more flexible for climatic conditions. “We have stock a variety called Karankurangu, which has a dark green and very thick skin, which is sour from Dindigul, and we are trying to create a source of more native varieties,” says Anantha Sayanan, co-founder of the Organic Farmers Market (OFM), Anantha Sayanan. He notes that the Salem region, which usually has a good yield, is also affected by unseasonal rains. “Salem, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri, which are the main common-produced areas in the state, were the worst hit this year, due to unexpected rains during the flowering season. The weather started late, and now we are working with quite low yields,” they say.

In OFM, they have small amounts of Imam Pasand, Banganapali, Malgo, Alphonso, Senthuram and Kalapadi. As their mission is to support the farmers with whom they work, they keep the margin less, making the yield cheaper.
