1
Learn / Research
Visit Vijayapura forest division office and connect with collectors in Basavan Bagewadi, Londa, and Sindagi taluks. Study resin grades, drying standards, and pricing at local mandis. Attend NIFTEM or CSIR-IIIM workshops on natural product processing in nearby Bangalore/Bengaluru.

Source Raw Materials
Source raw tree bark and resin from forest collectors in Vijayapura district (₹40-60/kg for semi-processed resin). Negotiate seasonal contracts with 3-5 primary collectors. Initial 500kg batch costs approximately ₹30,000-40,000. Build relationships through local forest cooperative societies.
3
Produce / Partner
Partner with established resin processors in Vijayapura town or Belagavi (30km away) for initial batches. Invest in basic drying, filtering, and storage setup (₹3-5 lakhs). Once production stabilizes, establish your own small unit with solar drying racks and manual processing tools.

Scale
After first 6 months, expand product line to include essential oil extracts and incense sticks. Partner with 2-3 export trading houses for international sales.
