Revenue model

1. B2B Bulk Makhana Export: Primary revenue stream from exporting raw, roasted, and flavoured GI-tagged makhana in bulk quantities to international buyers including importers, distributors, snack brands, and private label manufacturers. Revenue is generated through per-kilogram pricing based on Suta grade (4-7 Suta), form (raw, roasted, flavoured), and order volume.
2. Private Label Manufacturing: MeraKisan manufactures flavoured makhana under buyer brands, offering custom flavour development, packaging, and labeling. This generates revenue as a value-added service bundled with bulk product supply for B2B clients.
3. Wholesale Domestic B2B Supply: Wholesale supply of graded makhana to domestic Indian food brands, processors, and distributors. Supports both raw bulk and finished product offtake.
