Reference pricing across four buyer tracks.
REALM Krishi is built to serve four very different customers — Farmer Producer Organisations, individual smallholders, government and institutional buyers, and carbon credit purchasers. Each has its own commercial logic. The prices below are reference points, not a checkout. We sign every customer through a tailored conversation.
Built for Farmer Producer Organisations and aggregators.
FPOs subscribe on behalf of their farmer members. Pricing scales with farmer count so a 200-farmer FPO and a 10,000-farmer aggregator can both run on the platform with appropriate features and support.

Smallholder farmers never pay enterprise prices.
Our farmer pricing exists for transparency. The reality is that the vast majority of smallholders access REALM Krishi for free through their FPO subscription, a government programme, or a corporate sourcing partnership. Direct farmer subscriptions exist for those outside an aggregator.

- Insurance discovery & comparison
- Reseller dashboard (Krishi Mitra)
- Community Q&A access
No smallholder ever pays more than ₹99 / month.
This is a public commitment. As our platform grows in capability, smallholder pricing does not. Revenue comes from FPOs, institutions and carbon — not from the farmer's pocket. If we ever change this, we will say so publicly first.
For governments, multilaterals, corporates & research bodies.
Institutional pricing is bespoke by design — every government, multilateral and corporate contract has its own scope, geography, reporting cadence and procurement pathway. The ranges below are indicative for sizing purposes only.
| Tier | Indicative annual | Typical use case | Procurement |
|---|---|---|---|
| State Government | $50K – $250K | Dashboards for state agriculture ministry, FPO rollout coordination, state-level MRV reporting to AgriStack, integration with state-issued IDs and digital agriculture missions. | Direct procurement, vendor panel listing, or state digital agriculture mission framework agreements. |
| National & Multilateral / DFI | $100K – $500K | NABARD, MoA&FW, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Green Climate Fund — programme-level MRV across multiple states, NABARD FPO programme integration, GCF readiness reporting. | Empanelment process (NABARD), competitive RFP (DFIs), or co-funded research instrument. |
| Corporate (CPG / Trader / Input) | $25K – $150K | Supply chain traceability, Scope 3 emissions reporting, sustainable sourcing programmes (e.g. ITC, Olam, Cargill, Mahyco), regenerative-grown commodity certification. | Master Services Agreement, annual subscription, or per-supply-chain SOW. |
| Research Institution | $15K – $75K | ICAR, IISc, IIT, IARI, ag universities, CGIAR network — data access for research, model collaboration, joint publications, student internship cohorts. | Research agreements, MoU instruments, co-funded grant arrangements. |
| Australian Govt & CRC | A$30K – A$200K | DFAT, Austrade, Agriculture Victoria, Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade, CRC-P, Australia-India Strategic Research Fund — bilateral programmes, India-export support, soft-power technology demonstrators. | EMDG, CRC-P, ARC Linkage, AISRF, or direct DFAT / state programme funding. |
For carbon credit buyers and corporate offset programmes.
Carbon and verified-outcome pricing is usage-based, not subscription. Credits are issued from REALM Krishi-monitored projects to a standard methodology (Verra VM0042 or Gold Standard) with a defined farmer-majority revenue split. Forward-purchase and direct-enrolment options are available for corporate buyers seeking volume and traceability.
Verified credits
Issued credits from REALM Krishi-monitored Improved Agricultural Land Management (IALM) projects. Price varies by methodology, vintage, co-benefits (water, biodiversity, gender equity) and aggregation scale. Verification through accredited third-party auditors.
Request credit availability →Pre-purchase agreements
Forward off-take agreements for 2027 – 2030 vintages. Buyer commits volume up-front to enable farmer enrolment and baseline establishment. Subject to delivery against agreed verification milestones. Useful for corporates building a multi-year offset pipeline.
Discuss a forward purchase →Direct enrolment
Corporate buyer brings the farmer cohort (own supply chain or contract-farming network). REALM delivers MRV, methodology selection, baseline, verification and registry filing as a managed service. Typical for CPG, food & beverage, and trader supply chains seeking Scope 3 attribution.
Scope a programme →Institutions and corporates pay. Farmers don't.
Every revenue stream above is designed so the cost of running smart agriculture sits with the parties who benefit from the system-level outcomes — governments delivering policy, corporates de-risking their supply chains, buyers building offset portfolios. The smallholder farmer receives the tool, the advisory, and a majority share of the carbon revenue. This is the only model we believe is sustainable at India scale.
Frequently asked questions.
Quick answers to the questions we hear most often from FPOs, government buyers and credit purchasers.
Are these prices fixed, or is there room to negotiate?
Reference pricing reflects what we believe the platform is worth at each tier. For pilot-stage FPOs and inaugural institutional partners we offer pilot terms (typically 50% off the first 12 months, or a credit against future commercial terms) in exchange for case-study rights, anonymised data licensing, and a learning partnership. Every conversation starts with a tailored quote.
How are Indian customers billed if REALM Krishi sits under the Australian entity?
At present, REALM Group Global invoices in USD or AUD via its Australian entity. Indian customers can pay by international wire, foreign card, or via our partner Merchant of Record. We are in the process of establishing an Indian subsidiary with GSTIN registration, after which Indian customers will be invoiced in INR with full GST compliance and TDS Section 194-O handling.
For government and DFI procurement, we can structure contracting through Australian DFAT/Austrade-supported instruments where appropriate.
What does the farmer-majority carbon split actually look like?
For each tonne of CO₂e issued and sold: a minimum of 60% of net revenue (after registry fees, methodology costs, and third-party verification) flows to participating farmers and their FPOs through transparent on-platform payouts. REALM retains a platform fee covering MRV, software, support, and capital recovery. The exact split is published each cycle and audited annually.
When will the platform's farmer-facing features actually be live?
REALM Krishi is currently in the partnership and pilot-development stage. The site you are reading is the briefing surface for prospective FPO, government, and corporate partners. The farmer-facing WhatsApp and mobile experiences enter pilot deployment in late 2026 with our inaugural FPO cohort. Pricing on this page reflects the commercial model the platform will operate under at general availability in 2027.
How does this pricing roll up to the business model?
The full sustainability and revenue trajectory — including grant-to-commercial-revenue mix, unit economics, and 5-year projections — is on our Business Model & Sustainability page. Pricing here is one input into that model.
