Mangal Organics is the brand name for the Organic Food company, Corelife Wholefoods Private Limited. The brand aims to become an active contributor in empowering the development of rural India through various socio-economic initiatives.
The brand came into being in 2013 with a conscious awareness to transform the community, using natural and sustainable farming methods, which not only protect our lands, animals, environment, economy, but also guard people’s health, including our farmers’.
Mangal in Sanskrit means auspicious. It symbolises wellness, happiness, and prosperity. The organic food brand aspires to spread these qualities in the lives of people by offering the most reliable organic food in India.
The company’s management believes in ethical business, having social mandate to improve the living condition of farmers. To this end, the company was certified as Fairtrade in 2017.
The objective of the company is to promote and market authentic organic food products in domestic, regional and international markets.
CORE VALUES & MANDATE
- To grow organic products of the highest quality for the local, as well as, global community by using strictly natural and sustainable farming methods that help regenerate the soil, as well as, protect bio-diversity, and, at the same time, maintain yield productivity and year-on-year stability for the company.
- To provide employment, training and sustainable livelihood to local farmers.
FAIR PRICES & FAIRTRADE FOR FARMERS
Mangal Organics is one of the very few producers to have achieved the Fairtrade certification. The key aspects of the Fairtrade system are the Minimum Price and the Fixed Premium.
The Fairtrade Premium is an extra payment above and beyond the market price, which is paid to the farmer groups—fair price, it is called.
A Fair Trade Certification is only granted after many external audits and validates that the concerned company’s farmers and workers receive fair and competitive wages, and that the company ensures safe working conditions for its workers.
HOW MANGAL ORGANICS ELIMINATES ANY POSSIBILITY OF ADULTERATION
Instances of adulteration tend to creep in when external entities are involved in the production process.
Mangal Organics’ has pre-empted this problem by owning not only the farms where produce is grown but also by establishing its own processing unit.
This means, from cultivation to harvesting to processing to packaging—all facets of production are closely monitored by the company itself, with no external interference. This, along with, strict third party audits, eliminates instances of adulteration.
This inhouse control over all stages of Farm-to-Fork allows Mangal to enjoy 100% traceability and ensures premium quality.
Furthermore, the brand has introduced a unique QR Traceability Code with the help of which, consumers can ‘trace’ the source (farmer/farm) of the produce they are purchasing
Mangal Organics has more than 10,250 organic-certified farmers under its wings, amounting to more than 34,300 acres of organic-certified land.
