Tumakuru (Tumkur) district is Karnataka's largest coconut producer plus has substantial silk-cocoon cultivation. A combined operator running coconut value-add (cold-press oil, copra, coir) plus a small silk-reeling unit captures both crops' value-add.
Capex of 12-28 lakh covers oil expeller, silk-reeling equipment, packaging, and 6 months of working capital. The Coconut Development Board plus the National Sericulture Programme jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct operating skills, raw material supply, and brand-building. Start with one crop; broaden in year 2.
