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. Alikoya, he hailed from Calicut, Kerala, and built his entrepreneurial journey in Mysuru while maintaining strong ties with his home state.

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.

He passed away on 19 January 2022. His legacy lives on through his family, the businesses he built and the people whose lives he touched. At FAMCO, his founding spirit continues to guide the company’s journey.
