The Indian organic food market is a highly unorganised market segment and it was valued at $0.85 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow more than 20.5% CAGR annually to touch $2.6 billion by 2026. In India, the organic consumption is not even 0.1% of India’s $300 billion annual food consumption. With that said, the increased health consciousness, per capita income and organized marketplaces are set to drive the growth of the industry. One company that was incepted by like-minded entrepreneurs with the sole intention to do something for our farmers and the Indian consumers is Nimble Growth Organics. Leaving their high paying cushiony jobs, the founders of the company planned to get into Organic farming free from chemicals and serving the society with pure, authentic, and organic food and simultaneously helping the farmers with a sustainable income with a positive impact on the soil health of India’s farmlands.
