In the pandemic situation across 2020 , we can proudly mention that Food became the primary required material in the world and Arab India Spices could create adequate stock at all the seasons due to its traditional way of procurement and modern logistic facilities, Harish Tahiliani said in the press conference at the 400K Sq feet factory premises in Ajman.
Due to our R&D division's experienced vision we could save millions of people in the region from over -burden , shortage of food and black market pricing across these months of pandemic, said Harish Tahiliani.
Challenges:
Due to pandemic situation , the availability of empty containers is one of the key challenges we face and so the price of the commodities may rise little bit up to 5 % but we hope it will be resolved soon.
Due to the Indian Farmer's present strike in India , we foresee some kind of shartages in supply and subsequently we have to find some alternate sources also for meeting our regular demands.
