One of the shops in Kanthalloor village still follow the age old Barter System. A woman called Ponnamma is running a grocery in Puthoor village near Kanthallooor. She accepts farm produces like ginger, mustard, garlic, coriander and beans from customers and gives them rice and other essential in exchange. This shop was following the Barter System ever since her husband Pullarkkad Kochu Narayanan started it in 1962. More than 164 houses depend on the shop of Ponnamma for their provisions. When the Indian government demonetized bigger currencies in 2016, many nearby villages suffered without enough new currency for transactions. But the village of Puthoor never suffered because of the Barter system of Ponnamma.<ref>http://www.mathrubhumi.com/women/news/women-sells-things-in-barter-system-malayalam-news-1.1503485</ref> | One of the shops in Kanthalloor village still follow the age old Barter System.
