Annapurna Aroma is a Nepalese company that specializes in cultivating, wild harvesting, processing, and exporting essential oils obtained from typical Medicinal and Aromatic Plants.

Annapurna Aroma, a family-owned company founded in 1989, has over 30 years of experience serving aromatherapy professionals, distillers, and perfumers in the flavor and scent market.
The name ‘Annapurna’ is derived from our grandmother’s name.

The rich biodiversity of plant species in Nepal inspires us to discover new essential oils from unexplored Himalayan plants and we conduct ongoing research on our current products, cultivation practices, and quality enhancements.

Research
We have been doing research since we were born, and we spend a significant fund on research each year. We have a well-equipped lab, and we conduct quality tests both nationally and internationally to ensure that the products we produce are of the highest quality. We are proud of our products, which comply with all International Standards.

We have recently begun the process of organic certification for our products, which will undoubtedly improve our national and international reputation. We also publish research papers that include our own research as well as contemporary research articles in this field.

CSR
CSR is an emerging tool for bridging the gap between organizations and society. Organizations cannot function in isolation, and we believe they are meaningless unless they make a contribution to society. We continue to provide technical and financial assistance to all our farmers, without whom we cannot function and intend to carry out more projects for the betterment of society and its people.

We firmly believe in public-private partnership and we are doing this by building partnership linkage with farmers, government agencies, NGO/INGO and community organizations. We facilitate farmers by providing different supports such as helping farmers with zero investment policy, providing seeds at free of cost, funding them to purchase different equipment they need and assist them by providing technical and other contingent supports.

Farmers-Our Support System

Because we believe that intermediaries establish a jargon channel between business and farmers, we have a close relationship with all our farmers. We are solely focused on developing a direct relationship with farmers for three reasons: first, our bond will get stronger as we get closer, second, we will be able to produce the products at a lower margin, and third, the farmers will benefit directly.

By offering substantive and financial aid, we treat farmers as equals to our customers.

To improve our relationship with farmers, we’ve developed a direct channel to them by reducing the number of intermediaries along the way. Contract farming is something we believe in, and it alone confirms the hypothesis we came up with. We guaranteed farmers that they would receive a risk-free return.

Scientist
It is clear that research is our main strength, and it is worth noting that we have a very good circle of scientists. We’ve also written a few books and research papers about our business.
