Quality You Can Verify
Every batch from Khet & Co. is tested at an independent NABL-accredited laboratory against EU MRL standards—the world's strictest pesticide residue limits.
You don't have to ask for the test certificate. It's on the QR code on every pack, available before you order.
Every batch also carries a harvest date—not a "packaged on" date. You can calculate exactly how old your product is from the moment it left the farm. No guessing. Just facts.
Farm Direct. Nothing In Between.
Most Indian agri-commodities reach buyers through a chain of middlemen—importers, regional distributors, wholesale traders—each adding margin and removing traceability.
By the time it reaches you, nobody in that chain can tell you which farm it came from, when it was harvested, or what it tested for.
We skip that chain entirely.
We source directly from named farms through KhetAgro Innovations Pvt Ltd, our India supply entity. One link between the farm and your kitchen.
One fewer link means:
- Fresher product — no warehouse ageing between source and you
- Better pricing — no intermediary margin built into the cost
- Full accountability — we know which farm, which batch, which harvest date, what the lab tested
- Verifiable provenance — because we were there at the source
Trade Benefits You Probably Didn't Know About
India has signed preferential trade agreements with over 50 countries and trading blocs.
If you're importing from these markets, Indian-origin products—spices, rice, pulses, oils—may attract significantly reduced or zero import duty compared to the same products sourced elsewhere.
On a USD 10,000 monthly order, a 5% duty reduction is USD 500 saved every month. That's USD 6,000 per year. For the same quality ingredient. From a better supply chain.
