A farm that
gives back

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.

What farmers & customers say

★★★★★

"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."

RS
Ramesh Sahu Farmer, Koraput District
★★★★★

"Ordered black ginger powder for my Ayurvedic practice. The quality is genuinely exceptional — you can smell the difference from commercially processed alternatives immediately."

PD
Dr. Priya Das Ayurvedic Practitioner, Bengaluru
★★★★★

"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."

Farm in Odisha Farm produce

One family's answer to a question nobody was asking

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.

Three values that guide everything

🌿

Honest Farming

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.

🤝

Open Knowledge

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.

📈

Viable Livelihoods

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.
