Davos: Suhana Masala, a leading name in the Indian spice industry, along with the Ecofactory Foundation, has announced to set up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) for spices production in Telangana.

The initiative, which will be adjacent to Suhana’s existing facility in Sangareddy, aims to revolutionise spice farming by training and equipping farmers to produce farm goods that meet global standards. The announcement came after Suhana director Anand Chordia met IT and Industries minister D Sridhar Babu during the World Economic Forum annual meeting here.

What are the objectives of the Centre of Excellence by Suhana Masala?

⁠Training for farmers: Over the next 2-3 years, the Centre of Excellence will train 25,000-30,000 farmers, enhancing their skills and knowledge to improve spice quality and farming techniques.

⁠Global standards: The training will ensure that farmers meet international standards for the production of spices, improving market access and income generation.

⁠Sustainability and resource preservation: The initiative will promote eco-friendly farming practices, helping protect and preserve natural resources in Telangana.

⁠Collaborative effort: The Centre will work with various industry partners to bring cutting-edge technologies, research and best practices to the farming community.

⁠Support to the local economy: By enhancing the livelihoods of farmers and improving the quality of produce, this initiative will contribute significantly to the economic growth of Telangana.

The facility in Sangareddy, one of the largest chilli processing units in the country, will serve as a key hub for this transformative project, further boosting Suhana’s commitment to innovation in the spice industry.

“We are excited about this groundbreaking initiative. Our goal is not just to improve the quality of spices but to uplift the lives of farmers, empowering them with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed. By combining innovation with sustainability, we are committed to ensuring that Telangana becomes a global leader in high-quality spice production,” said Suhana Masala’s CEO.
