Where the processing happens inside the district instead of somewhere downstream.


Home of the lemon-oil processing unit built with the local collective.
Gajapati is the clearest example of the thesis. The lemon-oil processing unit was built here with the local producer collective, so the value gets added before the produce leaves rather than after it has been sold cheap to someone who will add it elsewhere.
The ragi and jawar laddoo line follows the same logic. Millet leaving as a raw sack earns a raw sack's price; millet leaving as a rolled, packed snack does not.
Hill terrain, aspirational district, and a crop mix that runs from millets through jackfruit and forest produce.
Buyers get a direct enquiry route. Programme partners get the practice that establishes a belt from baseline to market.
