Pain points

Synthite Industries Limited, established in 1972, was a family owned conglomerate based in Kerala, India. It processed and supplied a wide range of spices in diverse forms like whole, powder, oil and oleoresin. Its product range included pepper, red chili, nutmeg and ginger.

The challenges go beyond technological capabilities and sometimes demand adapting to ever changing agro-climatic conditions.   To ensure good quality of their produce, Synthite integrated backwards.  They believed that good quality raw materials can be assured only by  training farmers and making them sustainable.
