As I look back all the things that have happened since the beginning of the company, Seed Origin International indeed went through all sorts of daring challenges in many different circumstances. I am not bragging; in fact there is absolutely nothing for me or our team to brag about. We just kept a good attitude, worked as best as we could or knew how, and now it's been around 4 years of this marathon.
We started off as a small sweet potato warehouse. We would source sweet potatoes in Indonesia, purchase them from the local farmers and bring them to our small bamboo warehouse to wash them. Then we stored sweet potatoes on racks neatly, to blow away the moisture to increase the Brix level (sweetness) and supplied them to manufacturers and distributors in Indonesia. We figured a natural air-flow was absolutely necessary for the drying process (this is called Curing), so we built a semi-open warehouse using bamboos and concrete. And yes, we were tight-budgeted, so bamboo gave us a huge saving!
So our beginning was truly humble. We have been blessed abundantly to grow into what we are right now and I strongly believe that without this beginning, we wouldn't be where we are in this current position.
This is the place of our origin. And we planted a seed of business and dreams there, and it has been nurtured and watered until now. Never wanting to forget this humble beginning and the blessings we have been receiving on this journey, we go by the name Seed Origin.
