We redefine Spice Trading from the following different perspectives:

• Quality: We provide Buyers with the ‘best in class’ Quality of Spices. Leveraging our connections with the Sources - Farmers and Plantations, & Extraction Units, we ensure that the most optimal quality of Spices or derivatives is  made available to our potential Buyer partners.

• Perfect Pricing: We determine together with our sources ,price levels that are competitive as compared to the prevalent market rates. Benchmarks such as recent auction trends and large export orders set the acceptable parameters for us.

• Sizable discounts: As against acceptable pricing norms, we also share  all discounts offered by our Sources in a background of a ‘high’ supply environment or in times of superior export incentives that are available.

• Attractive commission arrangements: We provide excellent remuneration to Buyer’s agents and traders who can close out spice deals on an expedient basis for us. Given that we can turn around the deal very quickly, we are constantly on the look out for partners internationally who can equally fulfill the transaction from the ‘Buy’ side of the Trade.

• Logistics Support: We have developed partnerships with Shipping and Delivery Organizations with whom we could tie up to move our Spice Consignments in a very effective manner.

We do ‘end to end’ of Trading – From Inquiry handling, Quality, Price Sifting, Diligence, Framework of Terms, Negotiation, Deal Structuring, Finalization and completion leading to Deal Signing and the Export itself.

We offer our Buyers, an opportunity to be associated with us and our Spice sources, namely the farmers or plantations on a ‘longer term’ basis.

 

This is through our ‘Spice Procurement Partnership’ Program.

 

We believe that the ‘best deal’ gets done when a Business Bridge exists between the Spice Buyer and the Spice Source in a meaningful and professional manner.

 

We provide the opportunity to Buyers to pick and choose the Quality, the variety of Spice and the Commercial terms that work for them.

 

We throw open the Spice Corridor and the data room of   farmers who are known very well to us and with whom we have developed rapport and deep business relationships.

 

We are saying “ let the Buyer deliberate, develop comfort and conviction, walk the Spice Route, meet and greet and then Buy “.

 

We give Buyers the opportunity to look at Procurement and Sourcing with a more longer term view , a more interesting approach, and to assure themselves of a decent deal or deals over the foreseeable future.

 

We provide Buyers with a complete Introduction  to Indian Spices – the variety, the grades, the Sources, the Peculiarities, the Seasons

 

We accumulate samples from all of the Sources Short listed and put them through a Lab Test and Quality Diligence Process.

 

We adopt safeguards to ensure that the quality and grade of spice is sustainable over the next few months of the transaction , thereby guarding against deterioration and quality mismatch from a totally different crop of spice of a subsequent lot i.e. we look for commitment and protection of batch / lot within a grade.

 

We discuss the results of our diligence exercises with the Buyers .

 

Once a platform of understanding is arrived at to move forward with a specific Farmer / Source, we commence our discussions with the Farmer/ Source.

 

This may entail joint meetings with the Buyers or we do them on a Representative basis.

 

Detailed Negotiations, contract structuring, essentials of deal making, export / import regulations all of them go into play.

 

We endeavor to close out the transaction or the deal in the most amicable and mutually beneficial manner possible.

 

We aid in completion of all formalities of Contract Signing and closure of the Transaction.

 

Thereon until the commodity is securely exported to the Consignee / Buyer and the payment obligations are completely met, we stand by until finally signing off.

We offer ‘tourism’ as a service as relevant to the world and regions of Spices.

 

Mainly related to the Wayanad and Idukki districts of Kerala, we are in the process of tying up with nodal governmental agencies including Anakkara Tourism in order to offer this service to our Buyers.

 

We believe that this would be a feature that would be of great interest to Buyers and Corportaions intending to engage in Surveys of various spices for the purpose of, as an example setting up Extraction units.

 

We can take Buyers to meet up also with the Authorities at the Spices Board, Owners of Extraction Units, Plantations, Markets, Auctions etc.
