Agro Seed Processing Plant

Product Code : 2 tonnes per hour (Paddy 26 tpd or wheat 35 tpd in 3 shifts) or 4,540 tpa.
Uploaded on : February 2009

1.0 Product and its applications

Cereal grains like paddy and wheat together constitute the main staple food in the country. Hence production of these crops ranks highest in quantity. The use of certified agricultural seeds ensures higher agricultural production. The certified seeds are produced and processed under Indian Seed Act 1996 (amended in 2002). These are sound, healthy and genetically pure with higher yields. The process consists of agricultural activity as well as processing activity under a licence from State Authority.

2.0 Market Potential

India has made phenomenal strides in production of food grains, yet there exists a vast scope for further improvement in productivity. Replacement of 10% seeds annually would ensure higher production. The farmers procure certified seeds from different suppliers. However supply is far short of the demand.. There is a tremendous scope for setting up seed processing units to meet the local demand and make the region self sufficient in food grain production.

3.0 Basis and Presumption

a) The processing plant will work for 180 days per annum on 3 shifts basis.

b) The unit can achieve its full capacity utilization during the 2nd year of operation.

c) The wages for skilled workers are taken as per prevailing rates in this type of industry.

d) Interest rate for total capital investment is calculated @ 12% per annum.

e) The entrepreneur is expected to raise 20-25% of the capital as margin money.

f) The unit would construct its own building as per Seed Certification Authority specifications.

g) Costs of machinery and equipment are based on average prices of manufacturers.
