Kandhamal district produces GI-protected Kandhamal Haldi — turmeric with exceptionally high curcumin content (5-7% vs 2-3% standard). The same district has rich Kondh tribal heritage. A combined operator running turmeric processing (drying, milling, possibly extraction) plus a tribal-craft cluster captures both heritage streams.
Capex of 10-22 lakh covers turmeric-processing equipment, shared craft workshop tools, packaging, and certifications. MOVCD-NER (organic NE-equivalent for Odisha tribal areas) plus DCH (handicrafts) jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: maintaining curcumin content through processing, ethical tribal engagement, and managing two operating models. Start with turmeric (high-value, faster cash flow); craft cluster in year 2.
