A bulk botanical manufacturer built on technical depth

Central Trade Agency P Ltd manufactures standardised herbal extracts, phytochemicals and value-added botanicals for B2B buyers and contract-manufacturing partners worldwide.

Company Overview

Who we are

Central Trade Agency P Ltd (CTA) is an India-based bulk producer of herbal extracts and phytochemicals. From a certified manufacturing base near Bengaluru, Karnataka, the company extracts, purifies and processes botanical raw materials into standardised actives for the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food and cosmetic industries.

CTA's work today spans two connected strengths: established contract manufacturing for brands and ingredient buyers, and a growing portfolio of speciality products where the company has built deep, documented process know-how. The goal is a business model founded on technical mastery, repeatable quality and genuine traceability — not on price competition alone.

The company operates under FSSAI manufacturing licence no. 11220325000142 and holds a broad set of quality and export certifications.
