Our Team of Experts
Founders of KSEPL have been involved at farm gate level crop surveys, bulk aggregation, grading, warehousing, transportation processing and packing as well as providing industrial agro processing plant and market linkages since 2008, Founder Sanket Kapadnis has been actively engaged with all stakeholders right from farmers, village level aggregators, market participants, warehousing cos, advising farmer producer cos and also providing stable market linkage through his customer connect and has deep understanding of the Agro-Processing Industry.
Right from the beginning of their career, all three founders have been focussed on vision to work at farm gate level involving not just aggregation and trade but also advisory to farmers covering new market trends such as IPM and organic norms and actively trying to bring in such advisory through structured intervention backed by network of experts in the field backed by technology platform.
Genesis of KSEPL started when 3 founders met at an IIM Ahmedabad agri event . Mail-exchanges and continuous brainstorming sessions started on a voluntary basis since then, on how to solve this problem. and other supply chain problems.
The core problem of addressing contamination, adulteration, post harvest quality management and doing sustainable farmgate level sourcing was the backbone of KSEPL formation.
Deep-dive study, followed by various stakeholder consultations such as farmers, aggregators processing companies, warehousing companies, quality inspections agencies and logistics service providers was done over a period of 2 years.
One of the key issue we came across was of Economically motivated adulteration (EMA) of a food for financial advantage, lack of knowledge about GAP, MRL, IPM and Organic Cultivation Methods, Post-harvest Management, Lack of awareness of Safe Storage Practices.
- Pesticides Residues risk and management
- Identification and removal of harmful contaminants (especially microbiological contaminants), in the supply chain
- Aflatoxin risk mitigation & framework
- Development of framework for traceability and implementation.
This years of practical experience at the field level, farmer level and whole supply chain stakeholder level, has led to formation of this entity KSEPL, with a broad vision to build ecosystem for a truly global level value chain platform focused on safe and sustainable spices/ingredients, working on one commodity at a time which is being Turmeric for the coming two crop cycles.
