Sourcing
Sourced with greater visibility.
Soilo Farm sources through Indian farmer networks and cooperatives, favouring long-term supplier relationships in named growing regions. Where a batch supports it, sourcing region and lot identifier are captured in the batch record shared with the buyer.
No claim of organic, pesticide-free or chemical-free status is made on a batch that has not been specifically tested and documented as such. Buyer-specific sourcing preferences can be discussed on enquiry.
Traceability
Traceable by Soilo.
Eligible Soilo Farm batches can be connected to sourcing, farm and QA documentation through Soilo's ground intelligence stack, giving buyers a defensible view of provenance for the shipment they actually receive. The depth of traceability available is set by what the specific batch and lane support.
