Cultivation - The soul of our manufacturing
Ingex Botanicals: India’s Largest Cultivator of Marigold Flowers
At Ingex Botanicals, we take immense pride in being the largest cultivator of marigold flowers in India. Our commitment to quality, traceability, and sustainability is unparalleled. Every marigold extract you purchase from us is cultivated, monitored, and manufactured entirely by our dedicated team. This integrated approach ensures the highest standards of purity and efficacy in our products.
Seed to Shelf Quality
To guarantee "seed to shelf" quality, we have implemented rigorous protocols and invested significantly in our agricultural practices. We begin by providing our farmers with high-quality planting materials, including superior seeds, bio-fertilizers, and bio-pesticides. These inputs are crucial in maintaining the health and vitality of the crops while minimizing environmental impact.
Good Agricultural Practices
Our dedication to excellence extends to educating farmers about Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). We conduct comprehensive training sessions to equip them with the latest knowledge in sustainable farming techniques, pest management, and soil health. This education is vital in ensuring that the marigolds are grown in optimal conditions, leading to better yields and higher quality flowers.
Post-Harvest Knowledge
Post-harvest management is another critical area where we provide support. Proper handling, storage, and processing of marigolds post-harvest are essential to preserve their active compounds. We share best practices with our farmers to ensure that the integrity and potency of the flowers are maintained from the field to the factory.
Exclusive Buy-Back Agreements
We believe in building lasting relationships with our farmers. To this end, we have established exclusive buy-back agreements, offering them a guaranteed market for their produce. This not only provides financial security for the farmers but also ensures a steady supply of raw materials for us.
Supporting Farmers
Our farmers are the backbone of our operations. They bring invaluable knowledge and expertise to the cultivation process. We support them in every possible way, from providing resources to offering guidance throughout the growing season. This collaborative approach has been the cornerstone of our success.
Olive Lifesciences: A Legacy of Trust
For the past fifteen years, Olive Lifesciences, our parent company, has been at the forefront of this agricultural initiative. Our consistent efforts have earned us the trust and confidence of the farming community. Today, we proudly work with over 5,000 farmers dedicated exclusively to marigold cultivation. This extensive network ensures that we can meet the growing demand for high-quality marigold extracts while maintaining stringent quality controls.
Ensuring Quality and Consistency
Our integrated farming initiative guarantees the quality and consistency of our end products, batch after batch. By controlling every stage of the process—from seed selection to final extraction—we can trace the journey of each product, ensuring complete transparency and reliability. This traceability is a testament to our commitment to excellence.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
Our approach not only enhances the quality of our products but also has significant economic and environmental benefits. By providing farmers with high-quality inputs and education, we help them achieve optimal yields. This leads to increased earnings and improved livelihoods for the farming communities. Additionally, our focus on sustainable practices ensures that we are contributing positively to the environment.
Cultivation: The Heart of Our Manufacturing
Cultivation is the soul of our manufacturing process. It is this foundation that allows us to guarantee a 100% supply of raw materials throughout the year. By producing marigold extracts from the seeds we have sown, we maintain control over the entire production cycle, ensuring that our customers receive the best possible products.
At Ingex Botanicals, our dedication to quality, sustainability, and farmer welfare is at the heart of everything we do. Our comprehensive approach—from providing superior planting materials to educating farmers and ensuring post-harvest excellence—reflects our commitment to delivering the finest marigold extracts. Through our partnership with thousands of farmers and our unwavering focus on "seed to shelf" traceability, we continue to set the standard for excellence in the industry.
