Benefits
Raw Materials of High Quality
Agricultural produce are raw materials for our agro-based industry. One of our finished products – the desiccated coconut powder is used as cooking ingredient and for baking purposes. In order to ensure quality output, we keep our eyes and ears only on to the incoming coconuts, which need to be fresh and matured. Though sounds qualitative in nature, we have adopted quantitative parameters such as processable varieties of horticultural crops developed by The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) institutes such as Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE).
Variants such as Kalpa Chandra and Chandrakalps varieties with specified oil and lauric acid contents are a few quantitative parameters that goes into our raw material selection. We never compromise on the quality and all our suppliers are dependable and trustworthy because of the long-standing and win-win association we had with our supply chain constituents.

STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY
Technology driven world will deliberately exit you from the business if someone does not embrace the appropriate technology. Having understood this philosophy, we upgrade our manufacturing facilities by earmarking a specific proportion of our revenue to this technological upgradation. Government of India’s The Food Processing Industry Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (FPTUFS) also helps us. The mega food parks under Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme is also helping our MSME to get some coveted testing and inspection facilities which are beyond our scope of infra-investment.
Food industry is facing technical changes owing to consumption trends. There is an extensive dialogue about the need of food industries to upgrade technology and introduce innovations in order to ward off the competitions. By using apt technology to improve processing and packaging, we can improve the quality, shelf life and safety of food.
Innovative or Conservative
Innovation is the key component to ward off the competition. Food processing companies in India have started paying more attention to quality and innovation to boost profits and to be on par with global peers. The spending trends of consumers show that they are ready and willing to pay for food tech innovations that can meet their increasing needs of convenience, health and low environmental impact.
Many fledgling MSMEs and smaller ones are thriving only through innovation route to enter the market and sustain the same. Innovative packaging, aseptic processing and food-grade containers /material-handling equipment have enhanced shelf-life and hygienic aspects of the output.
Our innovative supply chain mechanism and use of mobile friendly technology helped us in procuring matured and graded inputs from the market on time.
SECRET INGRIDIENTS
Processing uniqueness and intricate grading procedures developed in-house have helped us to retain the position that we carved out for us. The nature’s delicacy and taste, though subject to change, is getting retained by smaller experiments over the period. The pandemic has made our food-processing industry to reimagine itself.
In complying with heightened safety standards and evolving consumer behaviour, we maintain stricter approach in using selective and permissible ingredients. Touch-free technology is also helping us to enhance quality and shelf-life. Our major concern is to ensure consuming nutritious food. Selective processes that minimize nutrition loss is the corner stone for us.
