Kavrepalanchowk
Initiated targeted research on high-curcumin turmeric chemotypes in partnership with 25 founding smallholder farmers. Established base protocols for organic soil preparation and active phytochemical screening.
Phytochemical Focus
Identified and isolated vital bioactive volatile compounds: ar-Turmerone, Santalene, and Curcuminoids. Shifted focus from low-margin commodity spice farming to high-value bio-compound extraction.
Wild Chemotypes
Identified naturally occurring wild native species of Black Turmeric (Curcuma caesia) and White Turmeric (Curcuma zedoaria / C. mangga). Domesticated these rare medicinal varieties in controlled propagation nurseries.

Non-volatile curcuminoids, polyphenols, and cellulose fiber remaining intact post-distillation.
Source: Hydrosol & 'Black Water'
Steam condensate rich in water-soluble phenolics and tannins.
Farmers who plant our high-value crop portfolio receive guaranteed market access at fair prices, eliminating post-harvest price crashes and providing income stability.
8 Premium Crops: High-Curcumin Turmeric, Black Turmeric, White Turmeric, Akabare Chilly, Ginger, Roselle, Ashwagandha, Black Cardamom
Promoting chemical-free cultivation practices, natural organic composting, and returning pyrolyzed bio-char to agricultural soils to maintain topsoil fertility.
Benefits: Improved soil structure, increased microbial activity, enhanced water retention, and long-term productivity
Converting 200 ropanis into a multi-crop spice ecosystem protects farmers against mono-crop failure, climate fluctuations, and seasonal pest cycles.
Result: Reduced risk, improved resilience, and multiple income streams per farming season
Multi-stream economic opportunities through value addition, processing partnerships, and direct market access.
Impact: Higher margins, skill development, and sustainable rural livelihoods
