have planted over 200 trees in our Cochin plant site to ensure green cover in
the area, and prevent erosion. Many of the trees have medicinal and pesticidal
properties. | | | | | | Improved
Agricultural Practices | | | |
| | Apart
from meeting our customer's basic needs our products also meet the stringent pesticide
and aflatoxin norms prescribed by the European Union, the U.S. and the ANZ region.
In this process we have been successful in working with the farmers to develop
better farming techniques that follow Good Agricultural Practices, and dramatically
reduce the pesticides in the cultivation of crops. In addition, to higher returns
and a better quality of life for farmers, we have made significant inroads in
improving the surrounding environment though. | | |

overall reduction in toxicity in the breathing air in adopted villages due to
