Vendor Profile
We have personally audited all the manufacturers that we work with. They have the required quality accreditations for exporting products to world.
Apart from the accreditations all companies have in-house labs that are equipped to test all the parameters issued by Specifications/COA. For specific requirements, samples may be sent to independent international labs or to the Spice Board of India.
Product Range
The firm’s team intends to provide exceptional levels of service that guarantee very high client satisfaction. Most of our clients are based in Europe, mainly in Spain. Nonetheless, our portfolio also includes clients from South America and North America.
Our client base consists of all sizes of companies with international experience. In many cases, our clients have been in India for years and are informed about the market, relying on Agora for growth or other business needs.
While our clients reach across industries, a large percentage come from the flavour & fragrance industry as a result of the nature of wide range of product availability in India. But increasingly, we have experienced growth of demand for the products that we deal in for application in other industries, viz., agriculture, animal feeds, nutraceuticals, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
