One of the most essential and profitable agri-businesses that comes under the NABARD subsidy scheme is Drying Units—both solar-based and mechanical-based.
These units help in reducing the moisture content in grains, fruits, vegetables, spices, and herbs, making them suitable for long-term storage, better quality, and value addition in secondary processing. High moisture content can lead to spoilage, fungus, and rejection in the supply chain. Hence, drying is a must in post-harvest management.
Business Use-Cases:
Farmers’ groups setting up village-level drying systems.
FPOs and cooperatives offering drying as a service.
Agri-preneurs setting up commercial units for contract drying.
Warehousing units integrating drying to improve storage life.
States with High Potential:
The following states have high agro-climatic potential and government focus for such units:
Andhra Pradesh
Telangana
Tamil Nadu
Odisha
Rajasthan
Integration with Other Projects :
Drying units can be integrated with:
Warehousing projects (to prepare grain for storage)
Food processing units (as pre-processing step)
Export-oriented units (to meet international moisture standards)
This makes it a smart investment for MSMEs, logistics players, and FPOs looking to expand their infrastructure.
