What We Do at Shree Nature Food

At Shree Nature Food, we focus on helping people in villages—especially tribal areas—earn a better income through lac cultivation and other forest-based products.

1. Scientific Lac Cultivation

Lac is a natural resin made by small insects that live on certain trees like Palash, Ber, and Kusum. We teach farmers how to grow lac in a scientific and safe way. This includes:

Pruning trees properly
Using healthy broodlac for better production
Controlling pests using the right tools
Harvesting lac carefully to get the best quality

We guide farmers from start to finish so they can get better results and sell at good prices.

2. Fair Procurement & Support

We buy lac from farmers at fair prices and also give them necessary items like:

Pruning tools
Pesticides and sprayers
Gloves and safety gear

These are given through local women groups and youth entrepreneurs, helping them start their own small businesses too.

3. Processing & Manufacturing

Once the raw lac is collected, we process it into useful forms like:

Seed Lac
Stick Lac
Button Lac
Aleuritic Acid

These are used in making cosmetics, medicines, food items, and even eco-friendly paints. Our processing units follow modern, clean, and safe methods.

Technology, E-Commerce & Research

At Shree Nature Food, we believe that technology can make life easier for both farmers and buyers. That’s why we use modern tools like mobile apps, computers, and AI (artificial intelligence) to keep everything transparent and organized.

1. Digital Supply Chain

We are building a digital system where farmers, buyers, and our team can track:

How much lac is available
Who needs help
Where products are moving

This makes the entire process faster, fair, and easy to monitor. It also helps us plan better and avoid waste.

2. E-Commerce for Industrial Buyers

We are also launching an online platform where industries can buy lac products directly from us. This means:

No middlemen
Fair prices
Fast delivery

3. Research and Innovation

Our expert team, including scientists and forest officers, constantly works on:

Improving lac production
Finding better ways to process lac
Developing new lac-based products like cosmetics and wellness items
Exploring export opportunities

We also create simple tools for scraping lac and field testing kits so farmers can check the quality of their product right in the village.

Empowering Women, Youth & Local Entrepreneurs

At Shree Nature Food, we believe that real change happens when local people become leaders. That’s why we support tribal women, young people, and small entrepreneurs to start their own businesses and build a better future.

1. Contract Farming for Lac

Not every landowner wants to grow lac—but many are happy to lease their trees. So, we help tribal youth and entrepreneurs:

Lease lac host trees (like Palash, Kusum, Ber) for 3 to 5 years
Grow lac using scientific methods
Share a part of the yield with the tree owner or pay a small rent
Earn profit from selling the rest

This system helps both the landowner and the grower. It also encourages people to take better care of the trees and increase lac production.

2. Small Lac Processing Units

We help women’s Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and youth set up their own lac processing units. We provide:

Training in lac processing
Machines and safety tools
Help with project reports and funding
Support for online sales and marketing

This creates local jobs, adds value to raw lac, and gives families a steady income.

3. Rural Service Businesses

We also encourage small service-based businesses like:

Tree nurseries and plantation services
Pest spraying teams
Skilled workers for pruning and lac inoculation
Transport and storage support

These businesses keep the entire lac ecosystem strong and self-reliant, while generating employment in every village we work with.
