Katihar isn't just a district on the map; for the global snack industry, it is the "Crown Jewel" of Makhana production. While Bihar accounts for nearly 90% of the world's fox nut supply, the Seemanchal region—led by Katihar—is where the magic truly happens.
At PLS Agro Foods, we take pride in our roots. The unique agro-climatic conditions of Katihar, characterized by stagnant freshwater ponds and rich loamy soil, produce Makhana that is naturally whiter, larger, and crunchier than any other variety.
The PLS Agro Advantage:
-
Direct Farm Sourcing: By eliminating multiple layers of middlemen, we ensure that our farmers get fair prices and you get the freshest harvest.
-
Superior Quality Control: Our Katihar facility uses a mix of traditional sun-drying and modern grading to ensure every kernel meets international export standards.
-
Economic Impact: Sourcing from us means supporting the local Mallah community and the rural economy of Katihar.
Whether you are a snack brand in the USA or a distributor in the UAE, our Katihar-based operations guarantee a stable, high-quality supply chain that is second to none.
