From funding to impact. 🌱

With SoilBox support, Konkuwan Herbs strengthened ginger farming through farmer training, processing, packaging, and market linkages in Koraput, Odisha.

The impact: 100 women farmers trained, 4 farmer clusters formed, and a 25–35% increase in farmer income through value-added ginger products.

This is how the right support can turn an idea into lasting impact.

Applications for SoilBox Cohort 4 are now open.
