Certified organic Black Turmeric, Black Ginger, and Mushrooms — grown without synthetic inputs on 3 acres in Jagadalpur. We also train farmers to do the same, for free.
In Odisha, small farmers have long been left behind — not for lack of skill, but for lack of access. Access to information, to markets, to technology that works at small scale.
Kamadhei Agro Farm was started by one family with a simple conviction: that we cannot just grow better crops and ship them out. We must bring the knowledge with us.
Today, we employ 52 people directly, train farmers in our district for free, and sell products that are entirely traceable — from the soil they were grown in to the hands that packed them.
"Be the change you want to see in the world."
— Mahatma Gandhi, our guiding principleWe grow. We train. We connect farmers to markets. Our work doesn't stop at the harvest.
We conduct hands-on training in organic cultivation, pest management, and soil health for farmers across Odisha — entirely at no cost.
We help smallholder farmers connect with buyers, aggregators, and export channels — bridging the gap between good produce and fair prices.
Expert advice on crop planning, organic certification pathways, government scheme access, and agri-tech adoption tailored to small farms.
"I had no idea black turmeric existed as a commercial crop. After Kamadhei's training, I started growing it on half an acre. The market price is 4× regular turmeric."
"Ordered black ginger powder for my Ayurvedic practice. The quality is genuinely exceptional — you can smell the difference from commercially processed alternatives immediately."
"The market linkage help was what we needed. Kamadhei connected our FPO to a direct buyer in Hyderabad. We got 30% more than mandi price for our vermicompost."

Every product is grown on our 3-acre farm in Jagadalpur, harvested at peak quality, and processed without synthetic inputs. Farm-to-doorstep traceability.
We supply to Ayurvedic manufacturers, health food brands, exporters, and FPOs. MOQ and custom packaging available. Contact us for a price sheet.
Our services go beyond the farm. We exist to make the entire ecosystem around smallholder farming stronger — through knowledge, connections, and honest advice.
We provide hands-on training to farmers in Odisha on organic cultivation methods, soil health management, integrated pest management, and water conservation — entirely at no cost to participants.
Our trainers come to the field. Sessions are conducted in Odia and are designed for farmers at all literacy levels — practical, visual, and immediately applicable.
One of the biggest challenges smallholder farmers face is not the crop — it's finding a buyer who pays fairly. We bridge that gap through our network of verified buyers, aggregators, and export partners.
We work with Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), individual farmers, and cooperative groups to negotiate fair prices and establish recurring purchase relationships.
Our consulting service helps farmers, FPOs, and agri-entrepreneurs make better decisions — about what to grow, how to grow it, and how to access government schemes, financing, and certification.
Sessions are available in-person at our Jagadalpur farm or via WhatsApp video call for farmers across Odisha and neighbouring states.
Tell us who you are — farmer, FPO, or entrepreneur — and what challenge you're facing. We respond within 24 hours.
A short call or field visit to understand your land, current crops, and what outcomes you're looking for.

We stay in touch. Farmers who've gone through our training can reach us anytime for follow-up questions — the relationship doesn't end at the session.
All our farmer services are free of charge. Write to us or message on WhatsApp and we'll be in touch within a day.
In Odisha, a small farmer growing paddy on two acres earns roughly ₹30,000 a year — less than minimum wage in any Indian city. The land is fertile. The people are skilled. The system, however, is broken.
Kamadhei Agro Farm was founded in 2021 by our family in Jagadalpur with a clear-eyed belief: that sustainable change in Indian farming doesn't come from policy alone. It comes from farmers who are better informed, better connected, and growing crops that the market actually wants to pay for.
We started with 3 acres. We planted Black Turmeric — a rare, high-value crop that almost no organised farmer was growing commercially in Odisha. We made mistakes. We learned. We trained our neighbours. We expanded into mushrooms, lemongrass, vermicompost, and fisheries.
Today, Kamadhei employs 52 people, has been recognised by Startup India and Startup Odisha, and completed pre-incubation at IIMB's NSR Cell in Bangalore. But the thing we're most proud of is simpler: dozens of farmers in our district growing better crops and earning more.
We don't use synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Not because it's fashionable — because it's the right thing to do for the soil, the farmer, and the person eating the food.
Every technique we develop on our farm, we teach. Our training programmes are free, our advice is honest, and we don't profit from keeping farmers in the dark.
We believe farmers deserve to earn a dignified income. That means growing what the market values, accessing it fairly, and continuously improving — not just surviving.
Our family begins cultivating Black Turmeric, Paddy, and Coconut on 3 acres in Jagadalpur. The first harvest is sold directly to buyers in Bhubaneswar.
We receive recognition from both national and state startup bodies, validating our integrated agro-farm model as an innovation worthy of support.
We add Oyster Mushroom cultivation, a fish pond (integrated with vermicompost), and Lemongrass. Workforce grows to 28 people.
First cohort of 12 neighbouring farmers trained in organic Black Turmeric cultivation. All 12 harvest successfully in the following season.

Today we grow 12+ crop varieties, sell pan-India through our website, and continue to train farmers at no charge. Market linkage services help farmers across Odisha access fair-price buyers.
