Events and Exhibitions
We recently participated in major international food trade shows, including SupplySide Global 2025 in Las Vegas, USA and Food Ingredients Europe 2025 in Paris, France and are preparing to showcase our latest innovations at BIOFACH 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, and Natural Products Expo West 2026 in Chicago, USA. Each of these events has provided an excellent platform to highlight our expanding portfolio of organic rice- and tapioca-based ingredients to a global audience. These trade shows also offer valuable opportunities to engage with industry leaders, strengthen partnerships, and reinforce our commitment to sustainable, transparent, and clean-label food solutions.
Sustainability Progress: Biomass Boiler
In collaboration with Steam Masters, and three months of dedicated implementation, the biomass boiler is now fully operational at seamlessly integrated into our plant operations. For years, steam generation at our facility relied entirely on natural gas. However, during rice processing a significant quantity of rice husk is obtained that was previously sold as a by-product. Our higher management identified the untapped potential of this agricultural residue and initiated the installation of a biomass boiler to transform rice husk, a by-product of our core operations, into a clean and renewable energy source. By converting rice husk into a sustainable energy source, we have successfully achieved zero reliance on natural gas, substantially lowering our carbon footprint and strengthening our commitment to environmental responsibility. This transition to biomass fuel technology enables us to achieve zero waste by ensuring that every part of the agricultural by-product is efficiently utilized. Additionally, it also delivers consistent and reliable steam generation while promoting sustainable energy usage across all plant operations. The biomass boiler benefits include reduced greenhouse gas emissions, minimized waste output, and improved air quality. This project marks another significant milestone for Shafi Gluco Chem, reflecting our continued dedication to sustainability, innovation, and responsible growth.
Our Innovations: Tapilow® & Oryzalow®
OryzaLow® – TapiLow® At Shafi Gluco Chem, innovation starts with simplicity, transparency, and respect for nature. As a clean-label expectations continue to evolve, reducing sugar alone is no longer enough that’s why, we have developed our low-sugar innovations- OryzaLow® syrup and TapiLow® syrup to deliver both performance and purity. OryzaLow® syrup is produced from carefully selected organic rice sourced from farms that follow verified non-GMO and sustainable farming practices. and TapiLow® syrup is derived from organic, non-GMO tapioca roots grown under strict soil testing and sustainability standards. From sourcing to processing, every step follows clean-label principles. Both syrups are minimally processed, free from artificial additives, and supported by stringent quality controls to preserve the natural characteristics of the grain and root. OryzaLow® syrup and TapiLow® syrup maintain the texture, taste, and functionality that food manufacturers expect, offering up to 70% less sugar compared to other syrups. These innovations reflect our commitment to supporting health-conscious consumers while delivering ingredients with true clean-label integrity.to supporting health-conscious consumers while delivering ingredients with true clean-label integrity.
Biodegradable Farming Practice: Vermicomposting
At Shafi Gluco Chem, responsible practices begin at the very foundation of our supply chain. In collaboration with Organic Greener, we have introduced vermicomposting at Shafi Gluco Chem farms an environmentally responsible organic farming method that transforms natural agricultural waste into nutrient-rich compost. This natural process enhances soil vitality, improves crop quality, and supports long-term agricultural balance. As one of the world’s largest exporters of rice- and tapioca-based derivatives, we depend on a reliable supply of pure, naturally grown raw materials. By adopting vermicomposting and avoiding chemical-based composts, we are enriching the soil naturally and encouraging healthier crop growth. These biodegradable and eco-conscious farming practices ensure that our rice and tapioca are cultivated using organic and environmental friendly methods, reinforcing the quality and integrity of our ingredients. This initiative supports both planet and consumer well-being, while strengthening our commitment to clean, natural, and organic-compliant ingredients for food formulations. Through responsible farming practices, Shafi Gluco Chem continues to build a future that benefits the environment, our partners, and the global food industry.
Sustainable Farming
Sustainable farming is central to how Shafi Gluco Chem operates and is reinforced through initiatives such as our Kisaan Khushaal Program, which reflects our commitment to responsible agriculture. Agricultural land covers more than one-third of the world’s surface and plays a crucial role in feeding communities while supporting diverse ecosystems. Maintaining this balance is essential for long-term food security, farmer well-being, and environmental sustainability. In recent years, modern farming practices have placed increasing pressure on agricultural land. Excessive cultivation, overreliance on chemical fertilizers, widespread use of pesticides and herbicides, and inefficient water management have contributed to soil degradation, declining crop productivity, ecological imbalance, and increased environmental risks. Shafi Gluco Chem is committed to responsible sourcing through sustainable and ethical supply chains. Farmers play a critical role in our value chain, and the Kisaan Khushaal Program supports them through guidance, training, and regular evaluations. These efforts promote environmentally responsible farming practices and continuous improvement at the farm level. The rice and tapioca used in our sweeteners and proteins are sourced in alignment with sustainable agriculture principles and fair labor standards. This collaborative and inclusive approach ensures a reliable supply of sustainably grown raw materials. Strict quality control measures at every stage further support our sustainability goals. Through these combined efforts, Shafi Gluco Chem develops products that contribute positively to the environment while setting a strong benchmark for responsible sourcing within the global ingredients industry
