BTF FarmGate builds long term relationships with individual farmer groups in an effort to give these growers a clear understanding of the power of their position in the ultimate sale of their produce. The need for so many layers of consolidation, sorting and warehousing in the spice trade seems almost implacable…

The most common result for spices, is clear profits for three to six layers of middlemen with a price point for producers that often doesn’t even cover the cost of production.

The vision of BTF FarmGate is to train growers in proper management of all aspects of production. From harvest to post-harvest handling, grading and warehousing, trained Big Tree Farms’ staff are on site with farmer groups during important production periods to ensure quality control for final products.
