About Us
Four generations ago, when we migrated and chose farm life over urban; our ancestors set foundation for us to continue.
Our founders started farming saffron in mid 20th century, from a small farm in Pampore. We gained the trust of other local farmers during our journey which led to community sourcing and birth of Basu Kesar Co. in 1955. Abiding by their principles of fair trade, we have since been assuring best saffron from Kashmir. Using our farming expertise, we have diversified in other food products originating from Kashmir like Walnuts, Almonds and Morels.
His vision to have a unique presentation of Kashmiri Saffron led to the inception of Kashmiri Mongra. The required distinctive skill, bestowed only upon Kashmiri craftsmen, which converts Raw Kashmiri Saffron (Lacha) to its finished form Mongra gained recognition through the trade network established at Basu Kesar in the 1970’s.
