One of Suminter's greatest advantages is the extensive network of over 13,000 organic farmers with whom we currently work. Suminter's primary supply of organic products comes directly from its farm projects in 6 states in India: Gujarat, Maharashtra, Uttaranchal, Orissa, Kerala and Rajasthan. Having such a broad and diverse supply chain ensures that Suminter always provides its customers with the best quality products.

In all of its projects, Suminter promotes organic agriculture through training and certification. We encourage the concept of 'zero-cost' farming by providing seeds to farmers and training them to use various bio-manures, bio-pesticides, and composting methods. This platform relieves the farmers of the upfront cost of seeds and other inputs, and also ensures a high-quality, certified organic product.

A unique aspect of Suminter's model is its focus on the economic development of the farmers with whom we work. By providing continuing education in organic farming methods and promoting sustainable technologies, Suminter is making a marked difference in the lives of Indian farmers. For example, techniques such as crop rotation and rainwater harvesting have allowed some of Suminter's farmers to harvest twice as many crops annually, a shift that has significantly improved the economic viability of these farms and the well-being of these farm families.  

Suminter’s Organic cotton project in Gujarat is certified Fair Trade since 2008 by FLO Germany and is the second project in Gujarat to achieve this certification.  The project serves 2351 farmers covering  15,930 acres.  In 2007, Suminter formed Gujarat Sustainable & Organic Farmers Association (GSOFA) which strictly works on the principle of consensus, democracy and transparency in all its dealings. Suminter serves as an advisor to the committee and helps with the execution of the yearly workplan.  To date, Suminter has supported the completion of over a dozen projects related to water and funeral grounds.

Suminter looks forward to expanding its projects throughout India to bring even more farmers into the organic ecosystem while bringing the best possible quality and variety of Indian agriculture to its customers.
