The company goes by the philosophy of “The farmer is our first customer”.

The Agri team of over 85 people, carefully selects land and farmers in different areas around Bangalore. Seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and other growth promoters are issued by us to the farmers. Collection of crop from the farmer is done during the second half of the day and it is transported to the factory. On an average around 2000 acres of land is cultivated every year under contract production. The farm lands are situated between 100 to 200 kilometres from the processing plant. We have set up Agri offices at multiple locations closer to the farmers. As our company policy, we strictly do not employ child labour, only adult workers are engaged to handle all activities. We adopt sustainable agricultural cultural practices. A documented package of agri practices, training & monitoring ensure all aspects of crop including use of only permitted chemicals / pesticides as per USFDA & European Union regulations updated continuously. A good post harvest handling and logistics system is in place to reduce quality deterioration after harvest and during transit.
