The pitch

Cassia Seeds (Samadhan Projects) processes raw cassia seeds into dried, packaged medicinal and food-grade seeds ready for sale.

Local herbal shops, Ayurvedic pharmacies, small grocery chains, and online marketplaces targeting health-conscious consumers. The unit processes approximately 30 kg of cassia seeds per day, with a 5‑day batch cycle. Manual sorting and quality checks are performed before packaging.

Sample cost ₹16,59,000 covers a seed processing unit, a drying oven, a packaging line, storage racks, and a basic office setup.

Who buys & when

Demand shape for this sample line — advisory, not a market study.

Buyers

Farmers, FPOs, nurseries, and agri-input dealers are the primary buyers for feed, compost, and related sample lines.

Channels

Farm supply / dealers
Bulk order to FPOs
Direct farm sales

Seasonality: Weather / crop linked; Sowing and harvest calendars drive offtake; dry months can stall sales even if the unit is ready to produce.
Locality: State or wider; Agri demand often spans a wider rural catchment than a single village — dealer networks extend reach.

Demand watch-out: Seasonal cash cycles mean demand can vanish for months — size working capital to the lean season, not peak month sales.
