Our Services

Reliable Sourcing:

Reliable sourcing of Sorghum Millet (Jowar) involves developing strong partnerships with farmers in regions known for high-quality Sorghum production, such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, and Andhra Pradesh in India. Focus on sourcing from farms that practice sustainable and organic farming methods to ensure the millet is non-GMO and free from synthetic chemicals. Collaborating directly with these farmers and cooperatives helps maintain the grain’s purity and quality. Ensuring traceability and adhering to best agricultural practices provides a consistent and reliable supply of premium Sorghum Millet.

Premium Quality Assurance:

Premium quality assurance for Sorghum Millet involves stringent quality control measures at every stage of processing. The millet is tested for purity, moisture content, and the absence of contaminants such as pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial agents. Certifications such as ISO, HACCP, FSSAI, and USDA Organic should be obtained to confirm adherence to international food safety and quality standards. Regular inspections ensure that the millet meets nutritional and sensory standards, including color, size, and flavor, preserving its high quality and health benefits.

Processes:

The processing of Sorghum Millet involves several key steps to ensure premium quality:

Harvesting: Sorghum is harvested when the grains are fully mature. The harvested millet is allowed to dry in the field to reduce moisture content and prevent spoilage.

Cleaning: The millet undergoes mechanical cleaning to remove large debris such as stones, dirt, and other foreign materials. This is achieved using separators and air blowers.

De-Husking: The outer husk of the Sorghum grains is removed using de-husking machines, which improves the texture and usability of the millet.

Sorting: The grains are sorted by size using sieves and gravity separators to ensure uniformity. Advanced optical sorters are used for colour sorting to remove discoloured or damaged grains.

Grading: The millet is graded based on quality parameters such as size, colour, and overall appearance. This step ensures that only high-quality grains are selected for packaging.

Drying: If necessary, the millet is further dried to achieve optimal moisture levels (typically below 10%) to prevent mold and spoilage during storage.

Packaging, Shipping & Delivery

Packaging:

Bags and Pouches:

For Sorghum Millet (Jowar), high-quality food-grade materials such as laminated multi-layer pouches (made of materials like PET, PE, BOPP, and Aluminium foil) are used. These bags are moisture-proof and help retain the freshness, flavours, and aroma of the spices. Zip-lock pouches, stand-up pouches, and resealable bags are also popular for smaller quantities.

Polypropylene (PP) Woven Bags:

These are the most common types of bags used for packaging large quantities (25 kg and 40 kg) of Sorghum Millet (Jowar). They are made of woven polypropylene material, which is strong, lightweight, and durable, providing excellent resistance to tearing and damage during handling and transport.

Laminated Bags:

For additional protection against moisture and humidity, PP woven bags can be laminated with a layer of plastic film. This lamination creates a barrier against moisture, ensuring the spices stay dry and fresh during transportation and storage.

Multi-Wall Paper Bags:

These bags consist of several layers of kraft paper, which provide strength and are often lined with a plastic or polyethylene layer to offer protection against moisture and humidity. They are environmentally friendly and widely used in many markets for exporting food products.

Vacuum-Sealed Packaging:

This type of packaging removes air from the package before sealing, which helps prevent oxidation and moisture build-up, preserving the quality and extending the shelf life of the spices.

Paper or Carton Boxes:

After the packaging, the smaller bags or pouches are placed in corrugated cardboard cartons or paper boxes. These cartons are sturdy, stackable, and protect the contents from physical damage during handling and transportation.

Palletization and Wrapping:

Cartons or sacks are often stacked on wooden or plastic pallets and wrapped with stretch film or shrink wrap. This provides stability, reduces the risk of damage during transport, and makes handling more efficient.

Export Documentation:

Handle all necessary export documentation, including phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, and any specific certifications required by the importing country.

Efficient Shipping:

Partner with reliable freight forwarders and logistics companies to ensure timely and safe delivery of goods. Offer multiple shipping options (air, sea, or land) based on customer preferences.
