India’s abundant horticulture market offers a gargantuan opportunity for players in the ever-evolving Agri space. However, despite being a large market many of our fresh produce is wasted due to lack of proper storage facilities.

The food processing industry is a sector that plays a significant role in effectively utilizing nature’s produce and adding value to the rich & bountiful produce of nature

‘Naturade Foods’ is one such startup that is striving to make a difference in this space.

Started as a food processing unit built with international standards, it is capable of manufacturing Frozen IQF, Pulp & Tidbits, Ready to Eat, and fresh produce.

“We are one stop shop for all your fruits and vegetable buying requirements. We are also as an ingredient supplier wherein we simplify your supply chain for processed fruit and vegetable products to be used as raw materials for your end product,” said Mr Prabhu Kiran, founder of the startup.

‘Naturade Foods is where quality meets convenience,’ said the founder adding that they have been manufacturing and selling food ingredients for B2B clients and have been providing private labelling service. About 15 major restaurant chains, Ice cream manufacturers, bakery chains have been served and they also cater to the B2C segment by supplying products to catering and convention centres.

 In addition, it is also a reliable ingredient supplier to the ice-cream manufacturing industry. For example, Custard Apple, Jackfruit, Pomegranate and other fruit petals and pulp extraction as well as offal disposal could pose issues to ice cream/bakery industries.

Keeping with the frozen foods space Naturade Foods claims to be a proud producer of preservative free frozen products with state-of-the-art equipment’s.
