Why Project Sampada Is Necessary

Bihar is one of India’s largest producers of fruits and vegetables, yet it remains among the states with the lowest levels of organised food processing, value addition, and agri-export participation.

This contradiction lies at the heart of the challenge that Project Sampada seeks to address.

1. High Agricultural Output, Low Value Realisation Bihar produces significant volumes of tomatoes, bananas, and other perishable crops, particularly in districts around Patna, Vaishali, Samastipur, Nalanda, and Muzaffarpur.

However: :

2. Massive Post-Harvest Losses Perishable crops like tomatoes suffer 30–40% wastage annually due to:

This wastage represents lost farmer income, lost employment, and lost exports.

3. Fragmented and Unorganised Processing Ecosystem While Bihar has industrial infrastructure under BIADA, most agri-processing efforts remain:

Individual entrepreneurs struggle with:

4. Entry Barriers for First-Time Agri-Entrepreneurs Aspiring rural and semi-urban entrepreneurs face multiple hurdles:

As a result, talent exists, but confidence and support systems do not.

5. Underutilisation of Human Capital Bihar has a large pool of:

Yet, there is no structured pathway to integrate this human capital into professionally managed agri-processing enterprises.

6. Limited Export Orientation

Despite global demand for:

Tomato paste and puree
Dehydrated vegetables
Banana powder and processed banana products Bihar’s participation in agri-exports remains negligible due to:
Inconsistent quality
Small production volumes
Lack of aggregation at export scale

7. The Missing Middle Layer Most interventions focus either on:

The farmer, or
Large industrial players What is missing is a professional, ethical, and scalable middle layer that can:
Aggregate production
Ensure compliance
Manage operations
Connect markets

This missing layer is where Project Sampada positions itself.

The Core Problem Summarised Bihar does not lack produce. Bihar does not lack people. Bihar lacks structured, disciplined, and scalable agri-processing systems.

Why Incremental, Not Aggressive Solutions Large, capital-intensive models have often failed due to:

Project Sampada therefore adopts a phased, conservative, and learning-oriented approach, beginning with a controlled STEP Phase before scaling.

The Opportunity

If even a small percentage of Bihar’s tomato and banana output is processed locally:

Together, these form a realistic pathway from wastage to value, and from intent to impact.
