About Desouza Farms
DESOUZA FARMS is a fourth-generation agricultural and food enterprise rooted in a legacy that began during India's Green Revolution of the 1960s. For over three generations, our family has been closely connected to farming, agricultural development, and building long-term relationships with farming communities.
Our journey traces back to the pioneering efforts of Sir Joseph Baptiste D'Souza, GC, who worked alongside farmers to promote improved agricultural practices, responsible cultivation, and sustainable rural development. The values established during those early years—trust, integrity, quality, and commitment—continue to guide our business today.
Over the decades, the family expanded its expertise from agriculture into engineering, food processing, value-added manufacturing, and international trade. Today, DESOUZA FARMS operates as a modern food manufacturing and export company supplying premium canned foods, honey, dairy ingredients, beverages, bakery products, rice, snacks, and specialty food products to global markets.
Driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation, DESOUZA FARMS leverages its state-of-the-art processing facility at the KSSIDC Industrial Estate in Khanapur to deliver premium food products that meet stringent international quality standards. Our expertise spans canned foods, honey, dairy ingredients, beverages, bakery products, rice, snacks, and specialty food items, all produced with meticulous attention to quality, safety, and consistency for global markets.
Under the leadership of the fourth generation, DESOUZA FARMS continues to bridge the gap between farmers and international buyers by transforming agricultural produce into high-quality, export-ready products. With a strong focus on quality, reliability, private label solutions, and long-term partnerships, we proudly serve customers across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe.
At DESOUZA FARMS, we do not simply export products—we deliver generations of agricultural knowledge, responsible sourcing, and a commitment to building lasting relationships worldwide.
