Spice Temple Food Pvt Ltd Building a Farmer-First Spice Business By Mukesh Suryawanshi
The Problem The Spice Trade Reality Multiple middlemen create an inefficient supply chain where farmers receive only a small fraction of the final product's selling price Lack of transparency and direct relationships between producers and end consumers No traceability from farm to finished product
The Solution Direct Sourcing

Track every batch of spices back to the field of origin
Fair pricing and predictable income for farming communities
