Introduction
Agriculture today is no longer limited to traditional farming practices. With the increasing demand for safe food, value addition, and competitive markets, farmers and agri-entrepreneurs need more than just hard work in the field. They need knowledge, planning, and business strategies to maximize profits. This is where agriculture consultancy plays a crucial role.
At Vihan Natural Agri Business, we provide expert consultancy services in crop production, food processing, and marketing strategies. Our aim is to empower agriculture students, startups, and progressive farmers with the skills and knowledge required to transform farming into a sustainable and profitable enterprise.
1. Agriculture Consultancy in Crop Production
Crop production is the backbone of agriculture. However, productivity depends on scientific planning, resource optimization, and sustainable practices.
Key Areas of Support:
- Soil Health Management – Guiding on soil testing, nutrient management, and organic inputs.
- Crop Planning – Selecting the right crop varieties based on climate, soil type, and market demand.
- Integrated Crop Management (ICM) – Incorporating integrated pest management (IPM), weed control, and disease management.
- Water Use Efficiency – Adoption of micro-irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and precision farming technologies.
- Climate-Smart Agriculture – Preparing farmers for weather uncertainties by suggesting adaptive cropping practices.
Benefits for Students and Entrepreneurs:
- Learning modern production technologies.
- Exposure to eco-friendly farming models.
- Building agribusiness ideas around contract farming and high-value crops.
By implementing consultancy recommendations, farmers can improve yields, reduce input costs, and maintain soil fertility for long-term sustainability.
2. Agriculture Consultancy in Food Processing
Food processing is the bridge between the farm and the consumer. Value addition not only enhances the shelf life of produce but also increases farmer income significantly.
Key Areas of Support:
- Post-Harvest Management – Techniques for cleaning, grading, and packaging of crops.
- Value Addition – Developing processed products such as pickles, jams, juices, dehydrated vegetables, spices, and ready-to-eat snacks.
- Processing Technologies – Guidance on machinery, equipment, and technology for small- to large-scale food units.
- Quality & Safety Standards – Training on FSSAI regulations, HACCP, and export quality certifications.

Benefits for Students and Entrepreneurs:
- Understanding opportunities in food startups.
- Learning about food safety and quality standards.
- Exploring government support under schemes like PMFME and ODOP.
Food processing not only reduces wastage but also opens up global markets for agri-products.
3. Agriculture Consultancy in Marketing Strategies
Agricultural marketing is the most challenging yet rewarding part of the value chain. Even with good production, profits are often low if farmers cannot access the right markets.
Key Areas of Support:
- Market Research & Analysis – Identifying profitable crops and products based on consumer demand.
- Branding & Packaging – Helping agri-entrepreneurs create brand identity with attractive and eco-friendly packaging.
- Digital Marketing for Agri Products – Leveraging social media, e-commerce platforms, and agri-marketplaces.

- Export Opportunities – Exploring international trade, export documentation, and compliance.
Benefits for Students and Entrepreneurs:
- Understanding consumer behavior in agri-markets.
- Building agri-startups with branding and value addition.
- Exploring e-commerce and direct-to-consumer (D2C) models.
By adopting consultancy-based marketing strategies, farmers and agri-businesses can capture higher profit margins and create sustainable business models.
