What is Agmark Certification?
Agmark is an Indian quality certification mark issued by the Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI) under the Ministry of Agriculture. It ensures that agricultural products meet predefined quality standards.
✅ For Hing, Agmark ensures:
- Purity of ingredients
- Accurate resin content
- No artificial additives
- Proper blending and granulation
- Safe packaging and labeling
👉 Only licensed manufacturers are allowed to display the Agmark seal on their Hing products.

At RB Industries, all our compounded Hing products go through this process to ensure only Agmark certified Hing reaches your shelves.
