Chikballapur district has substantial grape and rose cultivation supplying Bengaluru and export markets. A combined operator running grape processing (juice, concentrate, raisin, possibly small wine) plus a floriculture export-cluster (rose, gerbera) captures both premium streams.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers grape-processing equipment, packing house for flowers, refrigerated van, and 6 months of working capital. MIDH plus APEDA (export floriculture support) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: cold-chain consistency, flower-export quality standards, and managing two operating models. Start with grape processing (steady year-round); floriculture export in year 2.
