Our Work
Illustrative use cases that show how Rysentia approaches value chain projects. The founder has experience of undertaking similar projects for Indian and international clients.
These are illustrative scenarios, not results from named clients.
International Buyer Sourcing from India
The problem
- EU rules on pesticide residues for infant food are extremely strict, and the client needs organic banana puree that can reliably meet that bar.
- India is the world’s largest banana producer, but the client has no way to independently verify which growing regions and suppliers can consistently meet infant-food-grade residue standards.
- The client wants to reduce reliance on a single sourcing origin, but has no on-ground presence, relationships or local knowledge in India.
What Rysentia does
- Intelligence: Study India’s organic banana-growing regions, identify clusters realistically capable of meeting ultra-low residue and organic certification requirements, and deliver a feasibility report naming specific regions with a realistic cost and timeline.
- Sourcing: Work directly with a shortlisted farmer cluster to put in place the specific practices needed (spray management, harvest timing, post-harvest handling) and set up the supply arrangement.
- Fulfilment: Take over ongoing management of the relationship, batch-by-batch quality checks and logistics coordination to Spain, on a monthly retainer, so the client never has to manage an Indian supply chain directly.
Outcome
A verified, independently-managed second country of origin for infant-grade organic banana puree, reducing single-origin risk, without the client needing an India-based team of their own.
Emerging Indian Brand Sourcing Price-Volatile Commodities
The problem
- Cardamom in India is procured mainly through a regulated auction system, and the client has no prior relationships or experience with how that system works.
- Grading (size, essential oil content) directly determines both price and quality, and the client has no way to evaluate it independently.
- Cardamom prices are genuinely volatile, swinging several-fold within a couple of years, and the client wants a strategy to manage that risk.
What Rysentia does
- Intelligence: Plain-language explainers on the auction system and grading standards, and realistic price bands and quality tiers matched to the client’s product positioning.
- Sourcing: Identify and vet suitable sourcing partners in Idukki, Kerala, and manage the first several purchase cycles on the client’s behalf.
Outcome
The client’s capability to run its own cardamom procurement efficiently and independently, having chosen to take over after the first few cycles rather than continue with Rysentia. Reaching the final stage is not the only measure of a successful engagement.
Large FMCG Player Solving a Specific Quality Issue
The problem
- The client has been rejecting a meaningful share of incoming groundnut lots at the factory gate because aflatoxin levels exceed food safety limits.
- This is not a one-off issue. Regional data suggests that a majority of groundnut samples from some growing belts structurally exceed international thresholds, so the problem is likely upstream, not in transit.
- The client already knows which aggregators and growing region supplied the lots. It does not need help finding new suppliers; it needs the existing channel fixed.
What Rysentia does
- A short diligence step on the existing channel to identify the likely root cause (harvest timing, drying and storage conditions are the primary drivers of aflatoxin risk).
- Direct, hands-on work with the aggregators and farmers in that channel to correct moisture and storage practices.
Outcome
A measurable drop in factory-gate rejections from the same existing supply channel, delivered as a single, focused engagement, with no market study or new supplier search required.
