Everything an estate needs, through the whole year

We take on the running of your cardamom estate — the field work, the labour, the inputs, the harvest and the curing. What makes it different is not the work itself. It is that you can see all of it, as it happens, from wherever you are.

What you get at the end of a season

Not a verbal summary. A record — complete, dated and yours to keep.

A full input log

Every fertilizer and spray applied, with product name, quantity and date. The document buyers and certifiers ask for.

Harvest and grading

Green and dried weight for every round, with the grade each lot made.

A costed account

Materials, labour and wages itemised — what was spent on your land, and on what.

Every estate is different

Age of the plants, altitude, shade, water. Tell us about your land and we will walk it with you before quoting anything.
