Watch-outs
Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification
Raw material sourcing risk
Coriander price and availability fluctuate seasonally; secure long-term contracts with local farmers to maintain consistent supply.
Food safety compliance
Must obtain FSSAI basic registration and follow hygiene norms; non-compliance can lead to closure or penalties.
Storage and pest control
Finished powder is prone to moisture and insect damage; invest in proper storage with temperature control and regular pest checks.
Market price volatility
Coriander powder prices vary with raw material costs and competition; maintain margin discipline and diversify customer base.
