Spices, Pulses & Gram (Empowering Farmers and Village Women)

Elevator: Beyond fish and poultry, Manvi fosters self-reliance by enabling farmers and village women to cultivate and process spices, pulses, and gram. With modern value-addition, packaging, and AI-driven market access, this initiative boosts household incomes and strengthens rural economies.

Traditional Indian inputs we keep

  • Age-old cultivation of turmeric, chili, mustard, coriander, and pulses in village farms.
  • Household-level processing methods: hand pounding, sun drying, and traditional stone grinding.
  • Community-based labor where women contribute significantly to post-harvest handling.

Modern + AI features

  • AI-powered crop advisory (soil suitability, sowing times, pest prediction).
  • Smart irrigation and IoT sensors for pulses/gram crop optimization.
  • Women-led micro-units for hygienic cleaning, grading, and packaging.
  • AI-assisted market linkage platform ensuring best prices and demand forecasting.
  • Branding with QR traceability showcasing “Handcrafted by Village Women.”
  • E-commerce integration for direct-to-consumer premium spice & pulse packs.

Benefits

  • Additional income streams for rural households.
  • Women empowerment through skill training, micro-enterprise ownership, and leadership roles.
  • Premium, farm-fresh spices and pulses directly reaching consumers.
  • Local-to-global brand narrative: “Authentic, Ethical, Empowered.”

Implementation checklist

  • Train farmers and women’s self-help groups (SHGs) in modern spice & pulse cultivation + hygiene standards.
