According to a report published by Precedence Research, the global botanical extracts industry is likely to reach a valuation of $12.6 billion by the end of 2030. When it comes to a country like India which is a hub for herbal remedies, extracts have a greater value than any other region in the world. We have seen the emergence of many herbal extracts suppliers who have catered to the growing demand globally. However, production of extracts is a very delicate and scientific process and can only be executed by experts. On the other hand, technology is also developing at a good pace and the necessity to make use of advanced machinery for extraction facilities is also increasing.
Cifal Herbal uses the most advanced technology for its herbal extraction facility and has been in the industry since 1979. It is one of the largest processors of Citrus Lime fruits in India with best of facilities.

the main belt for Citrus Limes in India. Gudur is well connected by Rail (major junction)/Road (NH 16)/2 Sea Ports (Krishnapatnam at 30 kms, Chennai at 130 kms), and 2 Airports (Chennai & Tirupati).
This mega plant has beautifully been put up on 27,000 SQM of lush green eco-friendly environment with separate buildings for each division, clean rooms and concrete roads. The key lime peel processing equipment and dryer have been imported from Mexico, USA and Italy. The Pectin Plant has been recently expanded and modernised to International Standards.
The laboratory is fully equipped with imported Shimadzu HPLC, GC and UV Spectrophotometer. Garden fresh limes (Production capacity of 36,000 MT) are processed for Limes Oil, Pectins, Lime Peel, Citrus fibre, Lime Juice, Juice Powders, and more. “The unit is promoted by a Technocrat Entrepreneur (from IIT, Khargpur) with more than 30 years of Industrial experience.
