Guar
gum is extracted from the seed of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, an annual
leguminous plant originating from India. The 'Guar' legume plant
is extremely drought resistant and thrives in semiarid regions where
most plants perish. It grows best in sandy soils, in areas of West,
Northwest India which are ideal for it's farming. Jodhpur City in
the North Western state of Rajasthan in India is the most important
processing centre of Guar Gum and contributes approximately 40%
of the world's Guar Gum supply. And we have at our credit, the opportunity
of setting up our own plant in the same part, which establishes
us as one of the most competitive and qualitative supplier of Guar
Gum.
