Who we are
A public–private partnership for the hills
HADCL is a Public–Private Partnership between Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council & Erde Agro Ecosystems Pvt. Ltd. Our goal is not simply to grow an existing business, but to enter a difficult, overlooked space and help organise it.
We are working to digitise and automate agricultural trade in the region, so that the people who grow the produce are the ones who benefit from it.
Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council
The Sixth Schedule autonomous council governing the Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong districts of Assam.
+
Erde Agro Ecosystems Pvt. Ltd.
An agri-ecosystem partner bringing technology, processing know-how and market access to the venture.
Our approach
Production, processing and markets, working together
When farmers have better processing, stronger supply chains and larger markets, they are not just selling a crop. They take part in the value created around it.
Production
Supporting farmers in producing organic, pesticide-free and fertilizer-free crops.
Processing
Giving farmers access to better processing so more of the value stays local.
Markets
A formal, digital marketplace with stronger supply chains reaching national and international buyers.
Our aim is simple to say and hard to do: an agricultural ecosystem where the farmer captures more of the value they create.
The impact
What this venture will change
2
Districts, one formal marketplace

45,000
Farmer families

100%
