On May 17, 2011, a couple of adventurous Peruvian businessmen Cesar Zorrilla and Thomas Tidow had the vision to introduce and promote the planting of this wonderful seed, always with the mission of providing health to the world.
At the beginning as in any business there were certain difficulties, but we quickly learned to overcome and finally achieve our goal.
Today with great pride we can confirm that we have the best chia plant in the region, as well as the most efficient production chain of small and medium farmers in Paraguay.
We have invested in technology and top-quality materials to ensure that we have full control over our entire production process. And we want our clients to know that, with such high stakes, they can trust us to manage our business professionally.
In Paraguay, we own and operate a facility for the production of organic seeds with an installed capacity for over 440 tons per month.
Our plant is the only one in the world with Thermoshock Technology. This consist in a machinery that provides a heat treatment that reduces the microbial load of the product and eliminates any presence of biological organisms like insects. This is a process which does not use chemical products at all.
With this specific method developed in-house and many other procedures during the production process we can ensure the quality of our product.
Ensuring best quality through rigorous internal procedures.
Constantly monitoring processes and products with our in-house laboratory.
Obtained key food safety and quality management certifications, providing peace of mind to clients.
TCL Organic introduced the production of chia to several small farmers in Paraguay to grow this grain under the guidance of our field engineers. The farmers from whom we source live in humble conditions in some of Paraguay’s most remote regions, making their living based on just a single crop each year. It is our responsibility to train them, provide them with information, and help them plan their operations. Our farmers are the core of our company.
