Baran's Hadoti belt grows garlic that crashes to throwaway mandi prices in glut years. A dehydration-and-powder unit converts bulbs into shelf-stable flakes, powder, and paste for masala and food-service buyers.

Baran is a recognised garlic and spice-crop district in the Hadoti belt, where bumper harvests routinely collapse farmgate garlic prices because there is no local processing to absorb the surplus. This unit captures the district's garlic gap — raw bulbs to dehydrated flakes, powder, and paste — through peeling, slicing, dehydration, and milling, building on both the garlic & spice-crop belt atom and the existing agro-processing base in the Hadoti belt. Dried garlic products give growers a price floor in glut years and serve buyers who can't use perishable fresh bulbs. The honest constraints: dehydration quality and pungency retention, FSSAI and BIS spice-grade compliance, microbial control on powder, and locking procurement contracts before scaling. Buyers are masala and ready-mix brands, institutional and food-service kitchens, and export-oriented spice traders needing dehydrated garlic as an input. Garlic is the sharper single thread than the tribal-craft mashup — a clear crop-to-shelf processing play on the district's signature spice. Start with flakes and powder; add paste packs once demand and shelf-life handling are proven.
