Gherkins in Can,India Shalom Gherkins price supplier

We have set up a food processing plant with an installed capacity of 6,000 tonnes per annum near Hosur, located about 85 kms from Bangalore. At this facility, we have taken up bulk processing and bottling of gherkins ( Cucumis sativus L. ), essentially for exports to Europe and the U.S.

Gherkins are baby cucumbers that are used in pickling either in whole or in slices, stackers and chips. Depending on the type of pickles prepared in sweet or sour tastes, they are bottled and preserved in acetic acid, vinegar or brine medium.

Encouraged by the promising response to our food processing business, we have initiated steps to take up bottling and exports of other Vegetables such as  raddish, baby corn, jalapenos and green ball peppers .

The produce for our food processing plant is currently procured from farmers under a contract farming model. To supplement this, we intend to acquire around 200 acres (approximately 81 hectares) of land near Mysore for cultivation of gherkins and other vegetables.
