Step-by-Step Roadmap
Zero se pehli sale tak — actual kaam
Har step realistic hai — Tirap ke liye, as is.

Source Raw Materials

3
Produce / Partner
Either cultivate on leased/owned land (2-5 acres minimum) with guidance from District Agriculture Office, Tirap, or partner with 10-15 micro-farmers under contract farming model. Implement organic practices; processing can be done at shared community processing units in Depo or Longding towns.
4

Register Udyam (Micro/Small enterprise) for ₹0. IEC from DGFT (dgft.gov.in); the application fee is ₹500. Obtain Organic Certification from APOCA (₹15K-30K). Register brand trademark with IP India. FSSAI registration is ₹100 a year; a State licence is typically ₹2,000–₹5,000 a year and a Central licence is ₹7,500 a year, depending on the kind of business (FoSCoS).
5
First Sale
Launch on IndiaMART and TradeKey B2B platforms targeting spice traders and bulk buyers. Simultaneously apply for Amazon Global Selling for export-ready packaged ginger powder/candy. Contact organic exporters in Guwahati and Delhi for first bulk orders. Use bulk SMS campaigns to regional distributors.
6
Scale
After 6 months, expand farmer network to 50+ partners, establish in-district processing unit, launch private label ginger products for e-commerce giants, seek ISO 22000 certification, develop agri-tourism component at farm sites, target institutional buyers (corporate gifting, airlines).
