From Farm Smoke
to Farm Income.
We transform agricultural residue into valuable biochar and sustainable packaging — creating value for farmers, businesses and the planet.
The Problem Is Burned.
The Opportunity Isn't.
500M+ tonnes
Agricultural Residue
Agricultural residue is generated across India every year, much of which remains underutilized and left in fields.
Stubble Burning
Farmers often burn crop residue because practical alternatives are difficult to access during the short post-harvest window, leading to severe air pollution.
Lost Value
What looks like waste can become a valuable agricultural input, sustainable material, and a significant source of additional farmer income.
We Don't Treat Crop Residue as Waste.
We Treat It as a Resource.
AgriChar works with farmers and FPOs to collect crop residue and process it locally through modular systems, creating a sustainable loop of value.
AgriChar Processing
What We Make From
What Others Burn.
Agricultural Biochar
A carbon-rich soil amendment made from agricultural residue through controlled pyrolysis. Supports soil health, water retention, and reduces fertilizer needs.
- Designed for farms & FPOs
- Stores carbon stably
Biodegradable Packaging
Molded-fibre and biochar-composite packaging made from agricultural fibre. A sustainable alternative to single-use plastics.
- Perfect for E-commerce & FMCG
- Trays, mailers & inserts
Carbon Removal
Durable carbon removal generated through biochar-based carbon sequestration, converting unstable biomass into verified stable carbon.
- Verified impact
- Climate positive action
From Stubble to Solution
Collect
We work with farmers and FPOs to source agricultural residue.
Process
Processed through modular, decentralized pyrolysis systems.
Transform
Residue becomes biochar and useful fibre material.
Create
Biochar for agriculture, fibre for sustainable packaging.
Impact
Creates farmer income, rural jobs, and carbon benefits.
Decentralized Technology.
Local Processing.
Global Impact.
AgriChar uses modular processing units located close to crop-residue collection areas. This reduces unnecessary transportation emissions and makes residue processing economically viable for rural communities.
2–3 tonnes/day
Capacity per unit
15–20 km
Collection radius
Local Integration
Processing happens close to farms, keeping value within the community.
Logistics
Hyper-local model
A Better Alternative for Farmers
Your residue shouldn't be a problem. It can be an opportunity.
Sell Your Residue
Farmers receive a transparent procurement price for eligible agricultural residue, turning a disposal cost into direct income.
Reduce Burning
Residue gets an alternative route instead of being burned or left unmanaged, protecting local air quality and soil health.
Create Rural Value
Collection, logistics and local processing create new employment opportunities within rural farming communities.

Nothing Wasted.
Everything Reimagined.
Building a Circular Future for Indian Agriculture.
Vision: AgriChar's vision is to turn farm waste into farm income while creating environmental value. The company seeks to address India's crop-residue burning problem by converting paddy stubble and other agricultural residues into biochar and biodegradable packaging.
This creates a circular economy where agricultural waste is collected from farmers, processed locally, and converted into commercially valuable products.
Sherwin Pereira
Founder & CEO
Sherwin leads the venture with a focus on agribusiness, supply-chain development, and sustainable rural entrepreneurship. His role is to build strong relationships with Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs), develop reliable crop-residue sourcing networks, and drive the overall business strategy.
Under his leadership, AgriChar aims to transform agricultural waste from a costly disposal problem into a valuable source of farmer income, rural employment, sustainable agricultural inputs, and carbon sequestration.
The AgriChar Strategy
A decentralized, circular-economy and dual-revenue strategy.
1. Source
Partner with FPOs and village-level collection agents to purchase crop residue directly from farmers.
2. Process Locally
Use modular pyrolysis units located close to farms to reduce transportation costs.
3. Create Products
Convert residue into agricultural biochar, biodegradable packaging, and eventually carbon credits.
4. Build B2B Markets
Sell biochar to agri-input companies/FPOs and packaging to e-commerce, FMCG and D2C brands.
5. Scale Regionally
Start with Punjab, expand across Haryana, and subsequently replicate the model in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
6. Measurable Impact
Increase farmer income, create rural jobs, divert stubble from burning, reduce plastic use, and sequester carbon.
Our Journey Forward
Pilot
Local residue collection + first modular processing unit established.
Regional Scale
Expand processing capacity and deepen farmer/FPO partnerships.
Multi-State
Expand into additional agricultural residue markets across states.
National Network
Distributed network converting waste to value nationally.
