Seemanchal is home.
It's also where the world's finest makhana grows.
Few people outside Bihar have even heard of Seemanchal. But this quiet stretch of ponds and jheels, fed by the Kosi and the Mahananda rivers, sits at the heart of the world's largest makhana belt, where the spiny lotus has grown, wild and cultivated, for generations. Bihar alone grows more than nine in every ten makhana seeds harvested on Earth.
Kosi Agro started with something simple: we already knew this world. The ponds, the harvest calendar, the families who wade in each August to gather the seed by hand: this is where we grew up. Now we're building a way to bring that knowledge straight to buyers who care as much about origin as they do about quality.
We're early, small, deliberate, and unhurried, because a business built on trust is worth building slowly. What we lack in size, we intend to make up for in honesty, and in knowing this crop better than anyone else in the trade.
"A small team. An extraordinary seed.
A place the world is only just beginning to notice."
