LABOR OF LOVE
Because of their frequent presence at these trade shows, they caught the attention of television networks, earning them valuable media coverage and exposure. Up until now, they would occasionally receive request for their business to be featured in different social platforms.
Her inquisitiveness deepened which led her to explore further into product development. Thus, BRICS Turmeric Brew was born. She started with just a single kilo of ingredients, but as her passion and dedication grew, so did her venture. She showed her dedication to quality and adherence to legal requirements by making sure that the FDA approved every facet of her business operation. Without initially noticing, the quantity of her product increased exponentially. What started as a modest experiment soon blossomed into a thriving enterprise.In the business's early days, she was more than just the boss; she acted as the processor, driver, and delivery girl all rolled into one. She wore many hats to ensure everything ran smoothly. Throughout her endeavors, Marissa's commitment to excellence went beyond financial success to include improving her neighborhood. By offering employment opportunities to locals and spearheading outreach initiatives, she showcased a commitment to making an impact, beyond the realm of business achievements.
With these compelling facts in mind, the visionary owner of the product made a strategic decision to invest in a sprawling 5-hectare tract of land. By taking this bold step, she did not only secure a steady supply of premium-quality ingredients but also created a platform for economic empowerment within the community. This investment opens doors for local farmers to cultivate turmeric sustainably.A group of twenty-five committed people work on the production process from the time of harvesting until labeling. During the growing and harvesting phases, fifteen people are assigned in the fields to guarantee the quality and quantity of our turmeric roots. The ten people that are left oversee the complexities of the production site, where they process, combine, prepare, and package the mixture with great care.
