Members of both the CSR and Alosra team visited our Think Local farmer, Sadiq Mirza, at his farm recently to catch up with him and learn more about what he’s been doing.

Sadiq has been an Alosra partner since 2011 and has become a vital part to Alosra’s Think Local initiative, offering his fruits and vegetables to customers, daily.

“I love working with Alosra. They don’t just treat me like a supplier, I’m a valued partner. We work together regularly, coming up with new ideas and possible new offerings,” said Sadiq. And this time around, was no different!

The CSR and Alosra teams sat down to talk to Sadiq about the possibility to start selling free-range eggs under ‘Think Local’ in Alosra. By liaising with respective authorities or ministries, the BMMI team can help Sadiq get his farm certified as ‘organic’ or ‘free-range’.

Take a look at the few benefits of free-range eggs vs commercially raised eggs below:

• 1/3 less cholesterol
• ¼ less saturated fat
• 2/3 more vitamin A
• 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids
• 3 times more vitamin E
• 7 times more beta carotene
