Producer

Subarnarekha Agriculture Producer Company Ltd.

Location: Ganji, Langaleswar, Balasore, Odisha

Subarnarekha Agriculture Producer Company Ltd. is the farmer-producer organization identified on the pack as responsible for packing and marketing this Desi Black Buta.

The producer-company model helps organize agricultural produce for cleaning, packing and sale while maintaining a clear connection between agricultural products and their source organization.

This traditional black buta pulse is grown in the agricultural landscapes of Baleswar district, Odisha, where pulse cultivation is part of the local cropping pattern. Farmers sow and harvest this crop using seasonal practices adapted to the regional climate, ensuring the produce maintains its authentic heritage and quality.

After harvest, the whole black buta grains are thoroughly cleaned to remove chaff, dust and impurities. They are then sorted and packed in food-grade packaging to preserve freshness. The processing strictly focuses on minimal handling — no artificial preservatives are added — so the natural texture, color, and nutritional integrity of the pulses are retained for everyday use.
