About Zameen Organic
- A
Company Profile
Zameen
is a pioneering marketing company for Fair Trade, Organic
and Pesticide Free cotton in India. Zameen’s philosophy
centres around improving the livelihoods of rural farming
communities by ensuring that farmers receive better prices
for their products through Fair-Trade and Organic certification
and targeted marketing.
The
grassroots idea for the company stems from Dutch Agriculturist
Gijs Spoor (Zameen’s current CEO) and E.M. Koshy (chairman
of the Agriculture and Organic Farming Group, AOFG). Based
on their experience working in rural development in India,
Koshy and Spoor felt the need to create an established company
that could deliver market services to the farmers’ doorsteps.
The two partnered with Satish Chukkupalli, Managing Director
of Textilestation, and formed Zameen.
