Selling Organic Products Online

By Rudra Singh on 9 Comments / 2933 views

Dear All Rodinhooders,

This is an Idea which I would like to discuss with you. I am looking forward to start selling organic products online.

I need your advice on that, specifically:

  1. What is your idea about the market of organic products in India (and Delhi NCR)

  2. There are many categories of organic products like Fruits & vegetable, Grains, Dairy products, Oil & Ghee, Sweeteners, Tea & coffee, Spices,  Herbal products, Ayurvedic, Personal care, Apparel, etc. which one do you think is more in demand

  3. I am more keen on fruits & vegetable but not sure about the complexity of it due to its perishable nature

  4. We can draw some parallel from the existing  grocery ecommerce sector but I need to understand this more from Organic products perspective

Thanks

Rudra

  1. hi rudra,

    we have quite a few rodinhooders who sell fruits & veggies online – use the search engine 

    go onions is there for sure.

    there is tanutejas of shopkirana – a successful grocery online store in indore. 

    now we have a rodinhooder called amish mody who runs a store called eco-store – has eco-friendly products. dunno if any are organic though. perhaps he could give you some insights.

    you could also connect with tanul – eatopia – they are into traditional food/spice boxes called eatopian delights. maybe she could guide you as well.

    organic non perishables would obviously be a safer bet to start out with. once you have an enthusiastic & ensured customer base you could expand to fruits and veggies.

  2. Thanks Asha for helping me out.

    I have read almost every discussion related to fruits & vegetable and online grocery from the previous archives of rodinhood, however I could not find any thing specific to organic products. Lets see if I manage to connect with any entrepreneur, who got some insight in this area.

    I am also trying to connect with organic farmers near Delhi (NCR).

  3. Hi Rudra,

    Here are a few pointers from My End if that helps!! Go Green Go Organic!!! 

    You might also need to look into the Logistics to Avoid Unnecessary Expenditure costs etc as well too. Apart from the (Ware House) Storage and cold Storage options for Seasonal and Regular Food Items for short and Long term stocking.

  7. The Question is how many of us are buying organic fruits & vegetable?

    I am not saying that organic farming is at nascent stage but the adoption of organic products in our daily life is.

    Thanks
