Koya says Food Processors Limited has continuously worked to re-invent and develop new and innovative means of presenting their products by using locally sourced raw materials and have met consumer demand and preference, both in the domestic and export markets.
Koya says through this new product, “bongo” chilli farmers will have the opportunity to supply and diversify their plan to earn additional income.
The Acting Chief Executive Officer for Food Processors Limited, Raneel Mundaliar says they have done their market survey and realise that customers wanted more on Bongo Chillies.
Mundaliar says it took them two years to put together their product.
