Popcorn maize grown across 7,000 acres of Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, processed with 25,000 MT of annual capacity, supplied through a 14-state network.
The Indian Standard for Popcorn
Venagro was incorporated in 2021 to organise Indian popcorn maize from farm to finished product.
Today the system spans own and leased farms, contract farming, open-market procurement, popcorn-specific processing and multiple routes to market.

Venagro controls the decisions that determine how a kernel grows, travels and pops.
Annual capacity
25,000MT
Own and leased farms establish the crop standard. Contract partners extend organised cultivation through the sourcing network.
Every lot is cleaned and separated for the application it must serve, from cinema butterfly to coating-grade mushroom.
Kernel moisture is stabilised for dependable popping instead of left to chance after harvest.
Bulk maize, premix, seasonings, ready-to-eat formats and counter equipment move through one commercial system.
Choose the stage you need. Venagro can supply raw maize, counter-ready formats, finished popcorn or the tools around it.

Kernel science
Variety, harvest timing, shell integrity, moisture and storage all decide whether a kernel expands cleanly and stays crisp. Venagro treats those as one connected process.
