PDS Organic Spices is a pioneering social enterprise initiative of the Peermade Development Society (PDS), a non-profit organization based in the ecologically sensitive Idukki district of Kerala, India. Established with the mission of empowering rural communities through sustainable agriculture, PDS Organic Spices has emerged as a model for ethical, organic, and inclusive supply chains.
Rooted in the Western Ghats, a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot, PDS Organic Spices works closely with thousands of small and marginal farmers, many of whom are indigenous and women cultivators. The organization promotes traditional and climate-resilient organic farming methods, ensuring environmental sustainability while enhancing the socio-economic well-being of farming families.
Certified under international organic standards (EU, NOP, NPOP) and Fairtrade, PDS Organic Spices offers a wide range of premium-quality spices, including Black Pepper, Turmeric, Ginger, Clove, Nutmeg, Cardamom, and various spice blends. These products are processed in state-of-the-art, food-safe facilities and are traceable from farm to fork, ensuring purity and transparency.
Beyond commerce, PDS Organic Spices reinvests its earnings in community development—facilitating training in organic practices, providing market access, supporting women-led enterprises, and launching initiatives to improve farm productivity, soil health, and climate resilience.
Through its integrated approach combining sustainability, social equity, and quality, PDS Organic Spices stands as a trusted brand among ethical consumers, retailers, and development partners across the globe. Its participation in international trade fairs, organic forums, and Fairtrade networks highlights its role in advocating for fair, inclusive, and regenerative food systems.
In essence, PDS Organic Spices is more than a brand—it is a movement to create dignified livelihoods, revive traditional farming wisdom, and deliver authentic organic produce from India’s high ranges to conscious consumers worldwide.
