About Department of Agricultural Marketing & Agri Business, Government of Tamil Nadu

The Department of Agricultural Marketing and Agri Business is a Government of Tamil Nadu department based in Chennai. It oversees agricultural marketing infrastructure, farmer producer organisations, regulated markets, and agri-business development across the state, administering the Agricultural Marketing Board and running programmes that link agricultural innovation to market access.

Its distinctive role is funding agri-tech startups directly on problems specific to Tamil Nadu's farming landscape. Where most startup funding in India flows from central schemes or private investors, this department offers state-level grants for agricultural innovation, filling a gap for founders who need early validation capital without the complexity of national programmes. Its main startup-facing track, the Agri-Tech Grant Scheme, provides up to Rs. 10 lakh for early-stage startups developing agricultural innovations and up to Rs. 25 lakh for those expanding into the market or improving agricultural products and processes. Eligible startups must be DPIIT-registered under Startup India, incorporated as a private limited company, LLP, or partnership, and report average profit below Rs. 5 lakh over the last three years. A separate agri-business promotion scheme offers capital subsidies of 40% of project cost, up to Rs. 2 lakh, with a 20% promoter contribution, alongside entrepreneurship training and financial linkage.

Agri-tech startups registered under Startup India and working on agricultural products, processes, or market innovations in Tamil Nadu benefit most, particularly founders building for smallholder farmers, agricultural supply chains, post-harvest technology, food processing, and agricultural marketing.
