For any rural entrepreneur considering an entry into green fodder production, the biggest question is always the same: Is my location viable? Until now, answering this meant guesswork, local hearsay, or lengthy studies that often cost money and time. Shunya Agritech has changed that with the launch of its Viability Assessment Report (VAR) — a free, instant, and data-driven tool that brings clarity right at the start of the entrepreneurial journey.

The VAR uses verified government census data, layered with precise geo-location inputs, to instantly analyse fodder demand and supply gaps in the chosen area. It goes beyond just numbers by translating complex datasets into simple, actionable insights. Within minutes, a prospective Production Partner knows whether their area falls into Excellent, High, Viable, or Not Viable categories. This transparency not only saves time and effort but also builds confidence for those considering an investment.

Unlike traditional feasibility studies, VAR does not require surveys, consultants, or heavy analysis. All it takes is a latitude and longitude, submitted through Shunya’s platform. The report is generated instantly, delivered at no cost, and backed by census-verified reliability. Most importantly, VAR acts as a filter for both sides: it gives entrepreneurs evidence-based clarity, while enabling Shunya Agritech to identify high-potential locations for rapid growth.

At its core, the Viability Assessment Report is more than a tool — it is a gateway. It empowers entrepreneurs to take their first step with confidence, helps Shunya channel its resources into viable clusters, and addresses India’s wider green fodder deficit with precision.

The table highlights how Shunya Agritech’s Viability Assessment Report (VAR) stands apart from any other service available today:

There are obviously number of other reports & studies which are available and should be looked at by agri-entrepreneurs who are venturing in the space of being fodder entrepreneurs. Case in point – this excellent report developed by the International Livestock Research Institute, FEEDBASE is a GIS-enabled feed supply–demand tool. It integrates secondary datasets such as land use, crop production, and livestock census to estimate feed needs and availability. It even presents results spatially (e.g., maps). However, these reports are macro in nature and might not be relatable by the micro entrepreneurs who are more concern with the demand in the immediate vicinity of his business.

That is where Shunya’s Viability Assessment Report stands out, its local, its accurate and its free – it is what the entrepreneurs need to make a smart decision.
