Sourcing

Without our farmers, we cannot move forward. Our successful model starts with forging strong relationships with local farmers – by recruiting them through local organizations and our own field officers. But sometimes, farmers find us through word-of-mouth in their communities and proceed to participate in our training and certification program. Once they complete the program, they have the option to sell organic & natural crops to Namaskar SAC at a premium, or in the local markets at conventional prices. We source most of our top-quality ingredients directly from small producers who are committed to organic & natural farming and fair trade conditions.

Namaskar SAC does not provide direct financial assistance to the farmers. However, what we do provide are quality inputs – including organic seeds, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides – to encourage organic & natural farming practices, increase farm yields, and maintain high standards of the final product. We strive to make our farmers empowered, not dependent.

Conversion

The process of converting a conventional farm to a certified organic & natural one is a long process. During this time, we train the farmers in organic & natural farming techniques and assists them in selling the interim crops in conventional and Fairtrade markets. This allows the farmers to benefit from our broad market exposure while getting paid a fair price for their goods, as promised.

Once a farm is certified organic & natural, its produce can be sold at organic & natural premium prices in the marketplace. We’re constantly in the process of certifying farmers – as of July 2020, we have over 20 certified farms with us in Peru.

Monitoring

Quality is important to us. But more than that, maintaining the high quality of products that our customers have come to expect is imperative. We keep strict checks on quality by maintaining a relationship with our farmers throughout the growing season. We offer them access to new knowledge of organic & natural processes and ensure that crops are grown in compliance with organic & natural standards.

We take our quality checks seriously. We have over 25 field officers on the ground who visit each farm at least twice a month, and our project supervisor personally visits each farmer once every cropping season. These regular visits ensure that our internal control system runs efficiently and systematically. We take a very active role in critical decisions which may affect the quality of the products – from determining what type of seeds are planted or which organic & natural techniques will be used to which bio-pesticides will be used in which farm.

Processing and Packaging

Upon harvest, crops that require processing are sent to our processing plants. These internationally organic-certified facilities process and package the produce according to our strict specifications. The processed goods are then transported to warehouse for dispatches.

Quality Control and Traceability

When it comes to quality, safety, and innovation, we make no compromises. We make sure that not only do our products match global quality standards, but exceed them.

We frequently test product batches carefully to ensure that they’re meeting rigorous global organic & natural standards. All products sourced from new producers are tested carefully, while we continuously randomly test products from our existing suppliers. We also maintain a detailed database and tracking system of our products at every harvest season. We carefully track where we sourced each order, so when a customer has a question about the source of a Namaskar SAC product, the origin of each product can be easily traced.

Shipping and Delivery

Our strength lies in its reach, and in its ability to sell products to retailers and manufacturers worldwide. This step is what ultimately bridges the gap between farmers and global consumers.
