India has achieved No.1 status in production of natural essential oils in global markets because of its dominant position in mints.

Our mission is to create a prominent position in many natural essential oils in world markets by diversifying our portfolio by developing and adopting various aromatic crops in different climatic zones of the country.

Uplifting rural economy of various regions of India without disturbing food crops is our top priority. More emphasis is on adopting crop rotation with food crops and utilization of waste/saline land to grow additional aroma crops.
