Bhadrak district has substantial paddy cultivation plus Bay-of-Bengal coastal fishery. A combined operator running a small rice mill (parboiling, sortex grading) plus a seafood IQF processing unit captures both staple streams. Rice serves Odisha retail; seafood serves metro D2C.
Capex of 18-35 lakh covers rice-mill equipment, IQF freezer, packing, and 6 months of working capital. NABARD-AIF plus PMMSY at 60% subsidy jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct food-processing operations, cold-chain for seafood, and supply contracts. Start with rice mill (steady year-round); seafood in year 2.
