A Place for High Quality Agricultural Produce

KVM & Co. specializes in trading sesame seeds, neem seeds, tamarind, horse gram, loba (alsande/lobia), groundnut, and many other grains, oilseeds, and pulses. We carry a family trading lineage in Mysore that goes back to 1932 and operate today out of APMC Yard, Bandipalya, Mysuru.

KVM & Co. is located at 34 B Block, APMC Yard, Bandipalya, Mysuru, Karnataka 570025, India. We operate under a trade license issued by APMC, Mysore.

We are open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We are closed on Sundays and national holidays.

KVM & Co. was founded in 1932 by K. Veerabhadra Mudaliar. We are one of Mysore's oldest agricultural produce trading establishments with over 90 years of continuous operation and more than 3,50,000 metric tons of produce supplied across India.

You can reach us by phone at +91 9945066555, by email at [email protected], or via WhatsApp at +91 9945066555. You are also welcome to visit us at APMC Yard, Bandipalya, Mysuru.

Our minimum order quantity is typically 5 quintals (500 kg) for most produce, and we scale up to multi-hundred metric ton dispatches for contracted buyers. The same supply network and quality benches handle small specialty orders and large contracted volumes. For smaller trial orders, please discuss with our team and we will tell you honestly whether we can serve the request commercially.

Yes. We ship anywhere in India. A large share of our produce moves outside Karnataka because the regional quality of sesame, horse gram, tamarind, neem, and pongamia from the Mysore region has characteristics that buyers elsewhere cannot reliably substitute, even when the same crop is available locally. We coordinate inter-state dispatch including e-way bill compliance, and where food-grade chain-of-custody is required, we work with FSSAI-certified logistics providers.

Every lot is graded against the specification you confirmed in the purchase order, on the same quality bench, by the same trained team that has handled the produce for decades. We work to multiple grade tiers (cleaning-grade, processing-grade, premium) and quote against the tier that fits your end-use. Our in-house lab at the Bandipalya yard runs moisture metering and FFA titration on every significant lot before purchase and again before dispatch, so the spec in your purchase order is the spec that has been measured. For detail, see our posts on the quality lab, the hand-grading station, destoning standards, and reading a lot's quality markers.

Yes. We run a dedicated quality lab at our APMC Bandipalya premises, staffed by trained personnel. Core equipment, in order of how heavily it is used: a moisture meter for at-the-gate moisture readings on every incoming lot, an oil expeller for extracting oil from oilseed samples ahead of FFA testing, a titration set-up for measuring FFA, the chemical reagents required for the tests we run, beakers, flasks and graduated glassware, a heater for warming chemical reagents, and a dedicated heater for cleaning and sterilising glassware before every test cycle. Every significant lot is tested twice: once before we buy it from the market, and once before it leaves the yard for the buyer. Retained samples are held for a defined period after dispatch so any post-dispatch query can be answered against the actual lot, not against memory.

Yes. Samples are available for serious buyers on commercially reasonable terms. Tell us your specification (or your end-use, and we will suggest a specification), the volume you are evaluating, and your timeline, and we will dispatch a representative sample from a current lot.

Standard payment terms vary by order size, lot specification, and the established relationship with the buyer. For first orders, we typically operate on a confirmed-payment-before-dispatch basis. For repeat buyers with contracted seasonal volumes, more flexible terms are available. We are GST registered and issue compliant tax invoices on every dispatch.

Yes. Exporters in the FMCG, edible-oil, food-processing, and animal-feed domains are part of our regular customer base. We supply them with bulk produce within India; they handle their own export documentation (APEDA registration, phytosanitary certification, port-side paperwork) directly through their preferred customs brokers and freight forwarders.

Bulk produce is typically quoted on a per-quintal or per-metric-ton basis, ex-yard (APMC Bandipalya, Mysuru). For dispatch-included pricing we quote FOR (Free on Road) to your destination, on confirmation of address, packing, and expected dispatch window. Buyers who export the produce onward handle FOB and CIF pricing and documentation through their own freight forwarders.

We hold an APMC trade licence under the Karnataka Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1966, FSSAI registration for food-grade produce handling, and GST registration. We work with FSSAI-certified logistics providers for food-grade chain-of-custody. We are fully compliant with the regulatory framework for agricultural produce trading and supply in India.

Dispatch timing depends on lot availability and order size. Small to mid-size orders within our regular stock range are typically dispatched within the same week of order confirmation. Larger contracted orders are scheduled across a dispatch window agreed with the buyer, often spread across the season to align with the buyer's drawdown and storage capacity. We confirm a realistic dispatch window in writing at the time of quotation.

Yes. We work to multiple grade tiers and accommodate custom cleaning, destoning, and colour-sorting requirements where the order size and timing make it commercially viable. Packing options include 25 kg, 30 kg, and 50 kg jute or PP bags as standard, and we can accommodate custom packing per buyer specification.
