Uttara Kannada (Karwar) district has Karnataka's coastal-and-forest combined economy — Karwar coast for seafood plus dense Western Ghats forest for forest produce. A combined operator running an IQF seafood processing unit plus a forest-produce aggregation cooperative captures both economies.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers IQF freezer, drying area, packaging, and 6 months of working capital. PMMSY (60% subsidy for fisheries) plus NMPB (forest produce) jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct operating models, MPEDA standards for seafood, and Forest Department clearances. Start with seafood (steady year-round); forest produce in year 2.
