🌾 Did you know that Mahamaya paddy from Chhattisgarh was specifically developed for processing Poha (Rice Flakes) in 1997 by IGKV and is widely used in many other Indian states like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka? 🌾 Chhattisgarh is the largest producer of Poha, and many FMCG brands in other states specifically choose this variety. Here's why: - **Easy Availability**: With two harvest seasons per year, Mahamaya paddy is available year-round. - **Superior Quality Grains**: The bold and heavy grains produce better-shaped and sized flakes. - **Efficient Expansion**: This variety expands easily, resulting in fewer broken flakes. - **Pristine Appearance**: The flakes produced from this variety are white as snow. - **Versatility**: Mahamaya paddy is not just for Poha; it's also great for processing murmura and parboiled rice. Choose Mahamaya paddy for the best quality Poha and more! 🌟 #MahamayaPaddy #Poha #RiceFlakes #Agriculture #FMCG #FoodProcessing #SustainableFarming

💥 Palitana, a city in the Bhavnagar district in Gujarat, has made history by becoming the 1st city in the world to ban the sale and consumption of non-vegetarian food. This decision marks a significant cultural and religious shift in the region, reflecting the strong influence of Jainism and its principles. The ban in Palitana includes the sale and consumption of meat and the butchering of animals for meat, making these actions illegal and punishable by law. This move was taken after persistent protests by around 200 Jain monks, who demanded the closure of approximately 250 butcher shops in the city. Their demonstrations showcased the religious and ethical beliefs held by the Jain community, who regard non-violence (ahimsa) as a central tenet of their faith. Following Palitana's example, other cities in Gujarat, including Rajkot, Vadodara, Junagadh, and Ahmedabad, have implemented similar regulations. In Rajkot, authorities issued orders to stop the preparation and public display of non-vegetarian food. Palitana is not just any city; it is one of the holiest pilgrimage sites for Jains, earning it the nickname "Jain Temple Town." Nestled around the Shatrunjaya Hills, the city is home to over 800 temples, with the most renowned being the Adinath Temple. #Palitana #sale #consumption #non-vegetarian #food #cultural #meat #butcher shops #city #jain #public #Shatrunjaya Hills #Adinath #Temple

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit one of the largest rice mandis in Bundi, Rajasthan, and toured the largest rice mill, one of our valued clients. I was impressed by their 24/7 operations, where every batch of rice undergoes strict quality control—even cooking and testing rice on-site! A 1% deviation from the desired result leads to reprocessing, yet they remain profitable and at the top of the market. What stood out was how 30 major rice mills in Bundi maintain healthy competition and collaborate to set market prices. Despite being in a competitive industry, their harmony allows them to thrive. Key learnings : ✍️ Focus on Quality: Rigorous standards ensure customer satisfaction. ✍️ Team Specialization: Dedicated teams for critical tasks lead to consistent results. ✍️ Collaboration in Competition: Working together can strengthen the entire market. ✍️ Adaptability: Being flexible and resilient ensures long-term success.

A Brief History of Coffee in Wayanad Kerala’s coffee industry is essentially the story of Wayanad, as this picturesque district produces over 80% of the state's coffee. The roots of this sector go back to the 1820s when the British East India Company first introduced coffee to Kerala. The very first coffee plantation sprouted on the Ambukuthy hills and valleys of Mananthavady, Wayanad. By 1841, Wayanad's coffee journey truly began with the establishment of the large-scale Wayanad Coffee Plantations by Parry and Company of Madras. By 1869, the British had established a staggering 1,20,000 acres of Arabica coffee plantations across South India, half of which were in Wayanad. This period, from 1825 to 1869, is remembered as the "golden era" of Arabica coffee in Kerala. However, in a cruel twist of fate, the coffee plantations were decimated by pest and disease outbreaks. To revitalize coffee farming, Robusta coffee, known for its resilience was introduced and with it, the practice of cultivating coffee under the shade of trees, transforming Wayanad's coffee landscape forever.

Surge in Demand for Tass Banana Chips! Over the last 3 days, Tass has received numerous inquiries and orders for banana chips from wholesalers and retailers across South India. Here’s an insight from Tass on what's driving this demand: Why Nenthran Bananas are in High Demand in South? The Kalakkad season, from March to June, usually sees a steady supply of Nenthran bananas. However, recent heavy rains and strong winds caused many banana plants to fall, leading buyers to move to Wayanad to harvest Nenthran bunches before the season starts. As a result, Tamil Nadu agents have halted procurement, anticipating a price drop. This has disrupted the usual supply to retailers, creating a surge in prices and increasing demand in Tamil Nadu. 🔔 Attention! 🔔 In response to this demand, Tass is now taking pre-orders for coconut oil banana chips at just ₹210/kg with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 10 kgs. Retailers and wholesalers, seize this opportunity to secure your supply and keep your customers satisfied. call/whatsapp: 6380236093 mail id: pandian@tassshop.com www.tassshop.com #NenthranBananas #BananaSupply #Agriculture #MarketTrends #TamilNadu #Wayanad #KalakkadSeason

The Traditional Indian Chakki grinding retains more nutrients than modern mills Chakki grinding is a time-tested technique that preserves the nutritional value of grains by keeping temperatures low during the process. Unlike modern mills, which generate heat and takes away essential nutrients, Chakki ensures that the food remains nutrient-rich and fresh. This method is still used by many tribal communities in India, who rely on it for their daily food preparation. At Jawhar Farms, we adopt the traditional tribal practices for our processes.
