Suminter India Organics, a Mumbai-based company, was founded in 2003 on the notion that organic farming contracted out to small farmers in India would not only help to fulfill the worldwide growing demand for organic produce but also lead the participating farmers to greater economic stability. All of the farms with which we work are certified to international standards, ensuring not only quality produce but also fair labour and distribution practices. In fact, Suminter is only the third company in India to be Fair Trade certified for cotton and is one of the only companies in India to be exporting Fair Trade goods to the international market. Suminter now works with over 80,000 farmers and the company has continued to bring about social, economic and environmental benefits for its workers and consumers. Integrating certification, training, farming, monitoring, processing and distribution as Suminter assures us of a high-quality organic supply chain and guarantees the farmers a market for their crops. Suminter firmly believes that organic farming is a strong alternative for small and marginal farmers, and is constantly expanding its product range. With a business model that emphasizes the well-being of farmers, high quality products and the environmental benefits of organic farming practices, Suminter continues to play a more and more prominent role in the organic food and textile industry, both in India and abroad.
