Vizianagaram combines hill horticulture along its forested belt (mango, banana, jackfruit, jamun) with traditional craft economies. Both economies underperform — fruit at distress prices during peaks; textile production at fragmented household scale. A combined facility running fruit pulping/juice/dried-fruit operations plus a producer textile cluster (40-60 women weavers) captures both streams.
Capex of 10-22 lakh covers fruit-processing equipment plus shared looms and finishing space. MIDH (horticulture infrastructure) and NHDP (handloom cluster) jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct operating models, fruit processing seasonality, and brand-building. Start with fruit processing (steady demand for B2B pulp); textile cluster in year 2.
