Involving local farmers, establishing jobs in the community and promoting entrepreneurship. The definition of social responsibility is that a business should balance its profit-making activities with those activities of the society in which the business gets the goods/services from. It also involves the development of its business with a positive relationship to the direct society in which the business operates. Since our establishment over ten years ago, this has been our main aim. Our social responsibility is divided in three parts; community and nature, workers related to our company, and suppliers. We provide training and workshops with farmers of the local communities where our herbs are grown. During these workshops we focus on farming methods where reduction in pesticides, reduction in waste and methods of improved recycling is explained. In our industry we have the benefit that our waste can directly be used back into the soil in the form of compost. One of our products is also mint hay, which is animal feed. We educate them in the best farming practices, advise on the best products to grow and how to use natural elements – sundried herbs – instead of machinery which directly contributes to high usage of energy and pollution. Running a business that supplies large amounts of fresh and processed herbs and spices requires many workers. These workers include farmers, sorters, packers and their families. Many of our workers are uneducated and so are their family members. With lack of education comes financial struggles and they often live from one day to the next, with no financial prospects. We therefore provide education to our workers, farmers and their children within the communities that they live. When it comes to our suppliers, our main goal is to promote fair pricing. Second to that is our aim to source products worldwide – creating that central trading point where company owners from all over the world can expose their products and trade worldwide. In general, Caliph Trade is very proud to uplift the communities of our locals who live on the farms where our products are cultivated. The wives and mothers of our workers are talented in handicraft and we aim to promote their talents to the rest of the world. If you are interested in supporting our communities in Egypt, please get in touch to create partnerships so that these small companies can generate something useful for the community.
There are certain herbs and spices that work best when dried. Usually when buying dried herbs, they come in larger bags than we may desire, which means we need to attempt storing them in such a way that they will last as long as possible.
It is believed that prophet Mohammed said that the seeds of the black cumin plant could cure anything besides death itself.
