About us

We farm it ourselves, or we know the farmer who did.

Sampad Enterprises grows and trades pepper, cardamom, areca nut and Garcinia cambogia out of Siddapura, Sirsi and Yellapura — North Canara district, in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. Every lot is either off our own farm or bought from a local grower we deal with directly. We import nothing.

How we work

Most spice moves through several hands between the vine and the buyer, and each hand blends lots. By the time it reaches a wholesaler, the label can mean almost anything. We work the other way round. What we sell is grown on our own farm or bought from growers we know personally, mostly around Siddapura (581355), Sirsi and Yellapura in North Canara. The lots stay separate and we grade them ourselves.

Nothing is imported and nothing is blended in from outside the district. If we cannot source it here, we do not offer it.

We farm organically as a matter of course — no chemical fertiliser and no pesticide — and everything is dried in the sun rather than force-cured. Sun-drying costs us appearance on some lines, most obviously our cardamom, which stays a natural white-yellow instead of the forced green. It buys back more than it costs in taste and aroma.

Pricing is quoted per enquiry rather than published, because the market moves weekly and the specification changes the number materially. Send us what you need and we will come back with a landed price.

Who we supply

Our buyers are concentrated in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and West Bengal, with a handful elsewhere in India. We are actively looking to widen that, both to other states and to more markets abroad.

We export regularly to Dubai and the wider UAE, and into Europe, through third-party tie-ups that handle the shipping leg.

Quality

What our grades actually mean

Grade names are used loosely across the trade. Here is precisely what ours denote, and they hold across every product line.

A

Grade A — Export

Uniform size and shape, even colour, strongest aroma. Hand-sorted to export tolerance.

B

Grade B — Cleaned

Cleaned and graded with minor variation in size and colour. The domestic-trade grade.

C

Grade C — Mixed

Mixed sizes and shapes, cleaned but ungraded. Best value for grinders and processors.

Organic, not as an upsell

There is no organic line and conventional line to choose between. We farm without chemical fertiliser or pesticide across the board, and we follow sustainable, low-impact practices on the farm, so every grade you see here is organic by default.

Whole, cut and powder

Pepper and cardamom go out whole or milled; areca nut also comes cut, or as the fine powder used as a tea additive. Powder is milled against your order rather than held in stock, because the aroma starts to go the moment it is ground. Garcinia cambogia is sold whole only.
