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.
