GSP, which has advanced plants in the basmati-growing belt of northern India, uses Buhler technology to produce a variety of high-quality basmati rice under Raj Mehak and other brands.
Under the terms of the agreement, Horeca Trade will employ its sales, marketing and e-commerce expertise to distribute Raj Mehak basmati rice and products to the country’s complete foodservice markets.
