We employ strict hygienic standards and quality controls at every phase of processing, ensuring compliance with global import safety directives.
We source directly from farmer co-operatives in Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, and other major chilli belts. Only clean, vibrant red, mature chillies are selected for processing.
Chillies undergo natural sun drying on clean concrete platforms. Moisture levels are checked hourly using calibrated digital meters to prevent mold growth and aflatoxin development.
Our skilled laborers carefully sort the dried chillies. High-grade pods are separated into Stemless or Stemcut classes, while discolored or faded chillies are graded as Fatki.
Chillies are stored in temperature-controlled warehouses, fumigated according to international standards, and packed in fresh, breathable Jute bags, PP bags, or vacuum packs.
We drive value and compliance for international food brands, spice blenders, and industrial oil extractors worldwide.
