Working with nature
Mechanical and biological controls are central to the programme. Agronomists and agricultural research partners help shape cultivation practices that protect the crop while limiting pesticide use.
Care begins with the way we grow.
Integrated Pest Management combines farming knowledge, agronomy and targeted pest control to reduce reliance on chemical treatments.
Checks from farm to processing
Testing takes place at farmer level and again in the in-house laboratory. Pesticide residue checks help assess batches against the requirements of their intended markets.
Care after harvest
Spices dry on clean, disinfected tarpaulins rather than directly on the ground. Controlled layer thickness, regular turning and moisture checks help manage contamination and fungal risks.
Preserving quality
The published programme includes checks against EU and US maximum residue limits, cold storage at 5–8°C, and a final inspection before crushing or grinding.
A connected journey
Cloud-based traceability links sourcing and processing records. Cleaning, careful grinding, consistent blending and sealed food-safe packaging complete the journey to your kitchen.
