Quality-Controlled Procurement
Quality-controlled procurement is central to our operations. Each procurement lot is rigorously inspected for moisture levels, purity, grain size grading, and overall quality. For products such as peanuts and sesame seeds, additional testing is conducted for aflatoxin and pesticide residues. Microbiological checks, along with the removal of defects and foreign matter, ensure that only export-grade materials enter our supply chain.
