Origin Today ' s commodity trade and the handling of spices requires an increasing effort in control of the raw-materials for the food-industries. For us - an international supplier to the spice trade and industry alike this control starts early with the careful selection of growers and producers who have the requisite know-how to harvest, process, pack and ship spices to the highest standards So for us it is natural and normal procedure to keep a close contact to all important origins and exporters by regular travelling throughout the year. In this way we obtain key information on current crops and quality estimations from first-hand in each origin. This is the only way we can reliably inform our valuable customers at an early stage about any upcoming problems on crop shortages , qualit ies , and other information which might have an important impact on prices and supply-chains. Relying on our information and market-reports our customers thereafter can confidently cover their needs accordingly.
