At Sensient, it’s important for us to be engaged across the entire natural color value chain. From seed technology and farming to extraction and eventually final products, the seed-to-shelf strategy we employ allows us to optimize the botanically sourced natural colors we offer our customers. The program has several key goals:
Seed Breeding & Genetics:
Proprietary color crops with genetic advantages for size, color yield, and durability
Agricultural R&D:
Innovative farming practices and cutting-edge technology to maximize production
Seed Production:
Uniform, high quality, and reliable planting material for better output
Global Growing Partners:
Sustainable and socially responsible sourcing of botanicals
By creating these lasting strategic partnerships with our suppliers through Seed-to-Shelf vertical integration, we can make a greater impact on communities and collaborate with growers to sustainably produce ingredients that meet our strict quality and safety requirements. This also creates a traceable, transparent, and secure supply chain for our natural color sources.
