The plant is expected to be operational within a year and is expected to drive substantial revenue growth. This investment highlights the company’s commitment to addressing global demand while enhancing domestic supply capabilities and is a significant step toward cementing its leadership position in the sesame industry.

On the product innovation side, NHC Foods’ flagship spice brand, “SAAZ,” is set for a comprehensive strategic revamp to strengthen its consumer brand portfolio.
