Remembering our founder
Late Mr. A. M. Abdul Rahim
Founder of FAMCO
Late Mr. A. M. Abdul Rahim founded FAMCO (Fertilisers and Manures Co) in 1984, laying the foundation for a family business dedicated to organic fertilisers. The son of Late Mr. P. M.

Through decades of hands-on leadership, he established FAMCO’s presence in the agricultural markets of Kerala, particularly through its Bone Meal products. Tiger Brand Bone Meal became an important part of that legacy, building recognition among farmers and dealers across the region.
His entrepreneurial interests extended beyond fertilisers. He established and led ventures including Evershine Transport Service and Evershine Industries, developing businesses that reflected his initiative, practical experience and commitment to lasting relationships.
Alongside his business responsibilities, he remained actively involved in community life through organisations including Kerala Samajam, Lions Club of Mysore Central and Mysore Round Table No. 21.
