promise is simple:

- Improve use of lime to provide more favorable crop growing conditions.
- Minimize pesticides use.
- Increase on-farm investment.
- Provide job opportunities and invest in the people of the rural area of Kelagur Hills".

| Some examples of our achievements: |
The sourcing of natural spring water and harvest it for feeding crops.
The mucilage from washed coffee is extremely high in BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and therefore highly detrimental to the environment. This toxic effluent is 100% captured and treated to remove its toxicity.
All natural by-products are composted and returned to the soil. In addition the pruning of tea, coffee and shade trees are buried in trenches in the field to decompose and increase the fertility and organic content of the soil.
Social Welfare is high on the priority list and through education and training, employees are keenly aware of the importance of respecting our environment. |
