Our Vision
To pioneer the development of natural products, proving the underutilized potential of the region in a way that sparks a movement.
Meghalaya's Treasures
We believe there are undiscovered treasures in the hills of Meghalaya.
Abundant rainfall, rich soil, high altitude, hilly terrain, fresh air and clean water. These natural conditions combined with traditional farming methods produces unusual plants and crops found in few places in the world.
Zizira's hunt for these treasures, covers what is considered by some to be 'the richest most bio diverse region in India'.
With our knowledge of the local languages and cultures, we are able to draw from ancient wisdom and folk medicine. While you enjoy our flavorful products daily, be reminded of the importance of good farming methods. We are working hard to not only give you authentic products but to also work together with small family farmers in Meghalaya.
When you buy Zizira's products, together we create the process of regenerative and sustainable farming.
The Northeastern region is an unexpected paradise for agribusiness. Sooner it is harvested, better it will be for dawn of prosperity and peace in the region.

MAKING FARMERS FAMOUSOur Customers

Our customers are able to enjoy fresh products direct from farmers - traditionally farmed turmeric, honey, ginger, long pepper, birds eye chilli, and other high value products grown in the pristine hills of Meghalaya.
CUSTOMER REVIEWSFarmers Win
Our teams work to create opportunities and open markets where it is needed the most.
We strive to keep farmers grow crops traditionally without pesticides. We meet and encourage farmers to use best practices. Each region is different so we work to figure out the best opportunity so they can thrive. After understanding the unique potential of a village, we work to do what is best to thrive together.
Going to meet farmers puts us in touch with their struggles. We listen and learn. Creating a win for farmers means discovering what is unique about the region and what they can grow so that they thrive.
We believe companies can do something that is bigger than any kind of charity. Companies can give people a reason to work and hope to achieve more. We would rather “Teach a man to fish than giving him a fish”. Our relationships with farmers support this philosophy.

EXPLORE WITH US"Most places in the region do not have access to a market to sell their produce. The result is that farmers are forced to sell at distressed prices. Unless the situation improves the region shall remain dependent on other states for food. this might result in increased insurgency related activities. Unless the agriculture in the region is made remunerative the agrarian economy shall be shattered thereby increasing rural poverty"
