Amounts in the text follow the notation commonly used in India, with \u20b91 crore = 10 million rupees, and yen figures are approximations calculated at a little over 1.7 yen to the rupee.

Arya.ag runs warehouses where farmers and traders in agricultural produce deposit their harvest, and lends money against the stock they deposit. The aim is to remove the situation in which producers have no choice but to sell at the low prices that follow a harvest.<\/p>\n

Offering warehousing and financing together<\/h2>\n

Grain supply in India concentrates at harvest time, driving prices down. Even when producers know they could sell for more by storing grain for a few months, small-scale producers have neither the storage space nor the living expenses to cover the wait. As a result, they end up selling when prices are lowest.<\/p>\n

Arya.ag provides both warehousing and financing at the same time. Farmers deposit their harvest in a warehouse and borrow against that inventory as collateral. With cash in hand, producers can wait to sell until prices recover.<\/p>\n

Because the company knows exactly what and how much is in its warehouses, collateral assessment is fast. That also makes it easier for lenders to extend credit. How the risk is held changes depending on whether the loan comes from the company itself or from a partner.<\/p>\n

Scale and funding<\/h2>\n

FY2025 (fiscal year ended March 2025) revenue was \u20b9450.8 crore, up 27.9% year on year. In January 2026, the company raised a \u20b9725 crore (about $80 million) Series D round led by GEF Capital, bringing total funding raised to about $199.51 million. It has about 1,250 employees.<\/p>\n

Warehouses need to be spread across the country, which makes the investment in people and facilities heavy. The large amount raised reflects this structure.<\/p>\n

Points for Japanese companies<\/h2>\n

When buying grain or pulses from India, relying only on spot trades at harvest time doesn't give stable volume or quality. Sometimes there's simply nothing available in the market when you want to buy. Going through an operator that holds warehouse inventory makes it easier to spread pickups out over time.<\/p>\n

What needs checking is which items are handled at which regional warehouses, how quality grading is done, and whether export documentation can be arranged. Warehouse operators are often set up for domestic distribution, so export logistics may need to be arranged separately.<\/p>\n
