An apt name because we provide you what the earth provides. Our visionary patriarch Dhirajlal Vithlani laid the foundation of Dharti Industries way back in 1993. We originally started as a family business firm (Odhavji Kalidas & Sons) to deal in the supply of spices oil seeds pulses and whole grains. However our founders had the larger interest in reaching the international markets. This aim of supplying products to the growing international demand got realized when the young blood of the family Jasmine Vithlani joined the business with fresh ideas and vision. He formed a dynamic team of experts and advisers who in turn trained other staff in the finer aspects and techniques of the business. Soon the firm was renamed 'Dharti Industries'. Today Dharti Industries is the name to reckon with in both local and international markets. We are now a leading processor and exporter of natural and hulled sesame seeds as well as spice seeds like coriander cumin fenugreek and mustard.
