About Us
We are a community of over 100 dedicated nutmeg farmers hailing from the picturesque Pollachi region in Tamil Nadu! At the heart of our operations lies transparency and collective effort. Each of our farmers actively participates in the procurement process, ensuring that every step is open and accountable.
Motivated by a shared commitment to excellence, our farmers adhere to strict quality specifications, guaranteeing that only the finest nutmeg reaches your table. Join us on this flavorful journey, where passion for farming meets a dedication to delivering the best.
Nutmeg is a unique crop cultivated as an intercrop in coconut plantations covering approximately 235.7 hectares, with the involvement of around 175 farmers in our region. The nutmeg tree is distinct as it yields two valuable spices.
Our region benefits from a lower humidity climate and more staggered rainfall patterns, which are favorable conditions for drying nutmeg. This, in turn, results in a significantly lower incidence of fungal contamination and aflatoxin presence in our nutmeg compared to Kerala.
Moisture Content: The moisture content in nutmeg plays a crucial role in determining export suitability. International standards, including AB (10-12% moisture) and ABCD (10-15% moisture), and a possible lowering of the limit to 8%, are vital considerations. Our region excels in maintaining low moisture levels, with 95% of our farmers' stocks measuring between 8% and 8.5%, making our produce highly export-worthy.
Quality of Mace: The mace produced in our region is notably superior in terms of weight and aesthetic value compared to mace from other global producers, including Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Grenada, and Kerala.

Press Release
Encouraged by their success, more farmers joined them and the number swelled to 85 culminating in the formation of the first Farmer Producer Company for nutmeg farmers in Pollachi.
Nutmeg farmers in Pollachi, who formed a farmer-producer council last year, are reaping the benefits of staying united, breaking free from exploitation by traders and commission agents. According to sources, for over two decades, traders exploited the farmers who were fragmented and did not have exposure to the market. In 2022, fifty farmers came together and demanded Rs 470 per kg which was Rs 30 more than the price offered by traders.
