Zanzibar is known all over the world for production of high quality cloves. Up to 1990s and many years before that, Zanzibar was well- known for the production of large quantity of cloves. The farmers are much aware of quality, as everyone makes sure that the cloves he or she sells are of the highest quality.PICKINGThe optimum stage for picking clove buds is when the buds are fully developed and the base of the calyx has turned from green to pink color; not before that or when they are overdue. The clove pickers should not dislodge twigs as dislodging of twigs reduces the bearing ability of cloves trees. The process of separating cloves from the stems should be undertaken with due care, in a clean environment and on mats. Maximum care is needed to avoid mixing cloves with unwanted bodies and particles. DRYING PROCESS The cloves are dried in clean, hygenic process and are only SUN-DRIED. They’re exposed to enough sunlight in open air for at least three days, and never be dried by keeping them on roads or floor. This process ensures cloves of highest quality are produced with high market value. Farmers always bear in mind the fact that cloves are edible so they must meet the standards required in food hygiene before they are taken to the market. SORTING Before selling the cloves, farmers are ought to do final sorting, which is removing or separating cloves from all unwanted bodies. Farmers are offered first grade for clean and high quality cloves, hence they earn more money. Certified Organic. Freshly Harvested.
