Interview with Hamza Kayani Director of Chanar Sugar Mills producer of organic brown sugar
We are very happy to share this second interview of our series with all our audience. We make these interviews togheter with our platform partner, www.ekowarehouse.com in order to share experiences about international companies based outside Europe. In order to find new business partners it's important to keep an eye on the international scene and to understand how they work and how they move on European and American markets. We hope that this will give you the opportunity to getting to know them better and to create new business opportuities.
- Dear Hamza, thanks to be with us! Can uou tell us something about your products and why they are unique?
Thanks you first of all. Well, Chanar Sugar Mills Limited is catering for major multinational companies who follow very stringent quality standards and internal controls, therefore, as a company policy we adhere to parameters defined by the buyers. The management of the company took an initiative to promote organic farms to produce organic brown sugar.
It was an uphill task to ensure that the end product is free of pesticides and any other chemical agents. Our team remained engaged with Control Union for about two years and it was under their guidance and monitoring that we were approved for Organic certification.
Our products are given preference by the buyers because of our consistent quality. We have a dedicated and committed team which always remains vigilant to meet with any challenges for compliance of certifications and the quality. We are constantly engaged in R&D for the best possible results.
- In which country do you sell or would like to sell?
We are currently exporting to Middle East, EU, Far East, Australia and Canada for the past 3 years. We would like to market in the USA or any other country which may be interested in our product.
- Which is the typical buyer type that search for your products?
We have seen interest coming in from buyers who are making organic products and want to use organic sugar as one of their ingredient.
- How ekowarehouse support your company?
CEO of Ekowarehouse Sonalie Figueiras takes personal interest to introduce buyers and sellers.
- Tell us the main reasons why you are so satisfied about ekowarehouse service?
It is a great platform for buyers and sellers which provides an opportunity to interact with those customers who are genuine and serious. We have been getting inquiries from various importers who have expressed their willingness as they think Ekowarehouse is a reliable link to explore business options.
- What advice would you give to companies that register at ekowarehouse in order to be succesful?
I think it is the credibility of the buyer and seller. What I have learnt in business is to honor the commitment in any situation and that is what is expected of buyers and sellers to be successful.
- Thank you very much Hamza to have shared with us your experience and suggestions!
Thank you!
