Our Sourcing Principles

1. Wild, Tribal & Natural First

We prioritize ingredients that come from:

• Wild forest belts

• Tribal collection zones

• Natural agro-forest ecosystems

• High-mineral, biodiversity-rich regions

These environments produce cleaner, more potent, and unadulterated ingredients.

2. Direct-from-Source Relationships

Terrakora builds relationships where quality begins:

• Tribal collectors
• Forest-dependent families
• Micro co-operatives
• Village-level aggregators
• Estate-level spice and herb growers
• Natural dairy clusters for A2 ghee

No city-layer intermediaries, no speculative traders, no diluted supply chains.

3. Region-Based Ingredient Logic

Every ingredient grows best in a specific geography.
We respect that.

• Honey: Western Ghats, Central India, Eastern Ghats, NE Himalayas

• Lakadong Turmeric: Khasi-Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya

• Black Turmeric: Central Tribal Belts

• Black Pepper & Cardamom: Kerala single-estates

• A2 Desi Ghee: Indigenous cow clusters

• Ashwagandha: Wild collections + high-withanol cultivation zones

We choose origin based on natural suitability, not on market convenience.

4. Ethical, Zero-Pressure Procurement

We never encourage overharvesting, forced collection, or unsustainable extraction.
Every partnership prioritizes:

✔ Forest health
✔ Community income stability
✔ Regenerative collection practices
✔ Long-term availability

This protects both the ingredient and the people behind it.

5. Small-Buyer First Philosophy

Terrakora is built not for giant corporations or massive contracts.
We are built for:

• Small manufacturers

• Herbal formulators

• Natural product brands

• Local distributors

• Small and mid-scale traders

• Retail packers

• Boutique wellness brands

• Exporters fulfilling curated orders

Why?
Because small buyers value quality, origin, and traceability — not just the cheapest rate.

Supporting 100+ such buyers creates a flexible, sustainable ecosystem where everyone grows.
