Himalayan Attempts To Boost Kashmiri Saffron Farmers In Dedicated Annual Initiative

The brand celebrates 'Himalayan Day' with an initiative to uplift the Himalayan region’s communities – this year its focus is on supporting the saffron farmers of Pampore, Kashmir, who are facing challenges due to declining yield of Kashmiri Saffron

Himalayan Elevation Kashmiri Saffron, a brand from Tata Consumer Products is celebrating Himalayan Day. Himalayan Day is celebrated on 9 September every year and is an annual initiative dedicated to preserving and uplifting the unique Himalayan ecosystem and its communities. This year, the focus is on supporting the saffron farmers of Pampore, Kashmir, who are facing challenges due to the declining yield of Kashmiri Saffron.

As part of this year’s initiative, the brand in collaboration with Matamaal Foundation began training Kashmiri Saffron farmers starting in September, with on-ground sessions planned till October.

100 per cent of the proceeds from all packs of Himalayan Elevation Kashmiri Saffron sold online will be used to train these farmers in the week of this Himalayan Day. These trainings will equip them with the knowledge and tools needed to cultivate saffron more efficiently, ensuring the sustainability of their craft.

This initiative is in line with the brand’s commitment to giving back to the communities that are integral to the Himalayas. With this initiative, not only is the brand providing training to the saffron farmers of Kashmir to combat the declining yield but also giving them the hope they need to continue their craft in the face of environmental challenges. This initiative reflects the brand’s belief in the importance of sustainability and its dedication to positively impacting society.

Consumers can scan the QR code on the back of each Himalayan Elevation Kashmiri Saffron pack to see the specific farmer whose livelihood they have helped uplift. This initiative thus allows consumers to see firsthand the impact their purchase is making on the lives of these farmers.
