This case shows how a corn processing company in Maharashtra increased productivity and profitability by implementing a high-performance corn grinder machine, while it also supports local smallholder agriculture. Read on to learn how it happens and how it transforms agricultural production in India.

Client overview

Our client works for a leading agritech social enterprise based in Maharashtra, India. The company focuses on creating sustainable solutions to reduce post-harvest losses and empower rural communities—especially female agricultural micro-entrepreneurs—and build efficient food supply chains across India. With multiple processing facilities and a strong network of farmers, they aim to transform surplus agricultural produce into high-value food products.

The company is very advanced in agricultural product dehydration, and it currently faces a problem of how to increase the output value of agricultural products.

Why do they choose a corn grinder machine to solve problems?

Smallholder corn farmers in India often suffer from crop losses due to delayed post-harvest processing and a lack of value-added tools that hinder their ability to increase the value of their output. For an agritech company working with thousands of smallholder farmers, creating a reliable corn processing process was crucial.

After learning about various corn processing machines, our customer finally decided on the corn grits making machine. What are the economic benefits of corn grits? There are three main reasons:

  • Corn grits are a high-demand product (for making snacks, breakfast cereals, poultry feed, etc.).
  • The grits maker can be combined with a solar dryer (SCD) to form a complete processing chain, which perfectly aligns with the company’s industrial structure.
  • This fits their business model (helping farmers → processing crops→ extending shelf life → entering the market).

Implementation and its business impact

This equipment primarily cleans and shells corn, then grinds it into grits. Furthermore, with the company’s expertise, these grits are further dehydrated using sustainable drying technology, extending their shelf life and preserving their nutritional quality. This eliminates the need for chemicals, significantly improving the economic benefits of producing this high-end agricultural product.

This investment in machinery has also had a significant impact on the industry:

  1. It can open up new product lines: expanding the supply of corn products for institutional and retail markets.
  2. It will result in higher profit margins: converting raw corn into value-added cornmeal significantly increases revenue potential.
  3. It also empowers rural communities: providing future development opportunities for women-led micro-agricultural enterprises.

Now, after our packaging and shipping, the corn grinding machine has already started to work in the Indian company.

This collaboration provides India with a new solution for developing a corn processing ecosystem. By combining advanced processing machinery with innovative agricultural business models, it plays a leading role in promoting rural development and helping smallholder farmers start their own businesses.
