India's Food processing industry is projected to grow at 20% over the next 5 years to INR 30M Cr. At the same time, there exists farmer-owned food processing capacity but it is often underutilized due to challenges especially inmarket linkages and product quality and consistency. This presents a business and impact opportunity. To fill this gap, Krishi Star is a Food Brand that supplies quality natural, food ingredients sourced from our network of farmer-owned food processing units. Our main focus is marketing and selling products through our brand. We also engage in capacity-building through our integrated supply chain approach, which will be the foundation for our long-term scaled growth. For example, we are currently partnering with the Government of Andhra Pradesh to construct a farmer-owned factory. We currently have 80+ institutional customers across Mumbai, Goa, Pune, and Delhi and operations across Maharashtra and Gujarat. Our goal is to scale pan-India, building a INR 160Cr business and INR 100Cr farmer-owned capacity over the next 7 years. | Seed / Aug 26, 2016 | ||
