Produce roasted, flavored peanuts in small batches for retail and wholesale distribution.
Local retail shops, supermarkets, street vendors, and e‑commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart.

Finished goods are stored in climate‑controlled racks before distribution.
Sample capital requirement is ₹25,00,000 which covers a 200 m² processing unit, roasting machinery, packaging line, storage racks, and initial working capital for raw peanuts and spices.
