Uttar Dinajpur (North Dinajpur) district has substantial paddy cultivation plus dense dairy farming. A combined operator running a small modern rice mill (parboiling, sortex grading, branded retail packs of Bengali heritage rice including Govindbhog and Tulaipanji) plus a dairy aggregation operation captures both staple-food streams.
Capex of 15-30 lakh covers rice mill equipment, dairy chillers, packaging, and 6 months of working capital. NABARD-AIF (Agriculture Infrastructure Fund) plus the National Dairy Mission jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: managing two distinct food-processing operations, paddy and milk supply contracts, and brand-building. Start with rice mill (steady B2B); dairy in year 2.
