Mansa district lies in Punjab's cotton-cultivation belt with substantial pulse production in surrounding farms. A combined small unit running cotton ginning (separating fibre from seed) plus pulse milling (cleaning, splitting, polishing) captures both crops' value-add. Cotton ginning serves regional textile mills; pulse milling serves Punjab/Haryana retail markets.
Capex of 15-35 lakh covers ginning equipment plus pulse-cleaning line, packaging, and 6 months of working capital. NABARD-AIF (Agriculture Infrastructure Fund) plus PMFME jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: managing two operating models, raw material supply contracts, and B2B account building. Start with one stream (pulse mill typically — easier learning curve); cotton ginning in year 2.
