About Us

Rooted in Sirsi. Built for farmers and local trade.

Totas Marketing LLP is an agricultural marketing company based in Sirsi, Uttara Kannada, Karnataka. Our focus starts with farmer outcomes—reducing unnecessary middle layers, improving supply chain discipline, and building quality standards that buyers can trust.

What we do

We specialize in arecanut and also support marketing for coffee beans and black pepper. We work across sourcing, grading, market outreach, and logistics coordination—so local trade becomes more transparent, predictable, and rewarding for farmers.

  • Fair, repeatable market access for farmers
  • Quality-first acceptance and grading
  • Lean inventory and swift logistics movement
  • Long-term partnerships with buyers

Why we exist

Arecanut (and other commodities) often face three challenges: too many middlemen, high market volatility, and adulteration risk. Our approach is practical—direct outreach to buyers, better supply chain processes, and clear quality standards supported by farmer groups and FPOs.
