Spices BoardMas Enterprises Ltd grew out of the Cardamom Hills of Idukki — a house that decided the Indian cardamom buyer deserved a brand that controlled every step from plantation to shipping line. For more than four decades the MAS name has stood for "trusted quality," and today the company holds a Spices Board auction licence, an ISO 9001:2015 quality system and a Government of India Star Export House recognition, shipping plantation-fresh green cardamom to buyers in the United Arab Emirates, Germany, the United States and Japan.
What set the house apart in the early years still holds today — minimum handling between the bush and the box. The estates sit at 900–1,200 metres in the Western Ghats. Curing happens in plantation drying houses; grading happens on a colour-sorting line we built ourselves. The auction floor at Vandanmedu is the same one we have run lots through for two generations.
Beyond bulk export, MAS runs its own retail line — premium zipper pouches, cartons and jars built for the Middle-Eastern and South-Asian shelf, in trade-dress that already sells across the Gulf.
We also pack to private label: your brand, your weights, your language — filled and sealed under the same HACCP line that supplies our export buyers.
