This season we started our 2nd batch shipment of around 15 MT Bacopa Monnieri dry leaves after earlier executing a 4.5 MT load to one of our domestic nutra client.
For us, the thought process is actually very simple.
If you are already working deeply in a geography, then instead of running everywhere to build something new, sometimes it makes more sense to walk one mile extra in the same region and solve another local problem which naturally fits into the ecosystem.
That is how we started looking at products like Bacopa Monnieri.
The idea is not to create heavy infrastructure or put unnecessary capex from day one.
The idea is to identify crops which make sense locally, partner with FPOs and growers already connected to the ecosystem, and execute using existing strengths in sourcing, aggregation, and supply chain.
Because honestly, in medicinal plants the problem is usually not demand.
The bigger challenge is:
inconsistency,
adulteration,
poor traceability,
pesticide contamination,
and non-standardized sourcing.
And these things cannot be solved overnight through branding.
They are solved slowly on the ground.
By working closely with farmers.
By understanding the crop deeply.
By improving processes season after season.
These are still trial-stage orders for us and there is a long way to go before consistently meeting global specifications and standards.
But every strong supply chain starts with small honest executions and learning from the ground.
Step by step.
