Pokkali Farm Visit

Pokkali rice is a special variety of organic paddy produced in this land. Kumbalangi Panchayath comprises of 140 ha of paddy fields, which are mostly below sea level. Paddy is produced in this region through joint farming of large number of farmers. The paddy fields are divided into nine big paddy fields (Paadashekaram- in Malayalam). These paddy fields are concentrated in the southwestern region of the Panchayath. The number of farmers in each paddy field varies. The Manalkur paddy field has the largest number of farmers. There are 195 farmers jointly cultivating the land. The tourists visit Pokkali paddy land as a part of their village visit. Some of them are interested in carrying away a pack of Pokkali rice produced in the field. The specialty of the rice is that they are prepared not using artificial chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
