SAN’s sourcing operations extend beyond Byadgi, with a vast procurement network spanning Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Assam, and other regions. The company works closely with farmers and sources products directly from Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) in these regions. By leveraging both direct farmer relationships and established market systems, SAN ensures a reliable, year-round supply of premium-quality chilies.
An essential aspect of SAN’s procurement strategy is its focus on sustainable and regulated farming practices. The company has built a dedicated farmer network specializing in IPM (Integrated Pest Management) chilies. These chilies are cultivated using environmentally friendly farming techniques that minimize pesticide use. This approach ensures compliance with European Union (EU) and United States (US) food safety regulations, enabling SAN to serve the stringent requirements of international markets.
After procurement, the chilies are transported to SAN’s advanced processing facilities, which include two grinding units with a combined capacity of 20 MT per day. These units use state-of-the-art machinery to process the chilies into fine, consistent powder while retaining their natural flavor, color, and aroma.
For whole chilies, the raw material undergoes cleaning, sun-drying, and sorting to ensure only the finest products are packed. Each batch is subjected to rigorous quality checks, including tests for moisture content, pungency, capsaicin levels, and compliance with international safety standards.
