Rooted in Gujarat's Farming Belts
We buy close to the farm, from growers, farmer groups and trusted markets, and work with them on the practices that keep crops safe.
Two Ways We Source
Regulated markets
Buying at APMC markets such as Rajkot, Gondal and Unjha, with our own pre-purchase checks.
Trusted aggregators
Long-term suppliers for crops grown outside Gujarat, such as chia, ginger and some pulses.

Good Practices We Share With Growers

- Clean, dry storage off the ground
- Using only approved pesticides, at the right dose and pre-harvest interval, to meet export limits
- Keeping crop lots separate so they can be traced
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Where does Elysium Agri source its peanuts?
Mainly from Saurashtra in Gujarat, India's largest groundnut-growing region, through farmer groups and regulated markets such as Rajkot and Gondal.
Do you buy directly from farmers?
Partly. We buy at regulated markets and from trusted aggregators for crops grown outside Gujarat.
How do you reduce aflatoxin risk at the farm?
We encourage fast drying to safe moisture, clean dry storage and separate lots, and test lots before we buy them.
Can I get farm-level traceability?
For some lots, yes. Ask for a trace report; farm or village-level detail depends on the sourcing channel.
