Farm Peace Limited prepares for its SME IPO, aiming to capitalise on India’s growing processed potato market through technology-enabled, organised contract farming.
Farm Peace Limited is set to launch its SME initial public offering on 1 September, offering investors a bet on India’s organised potato contract farming market as the company seeks to expand working capital and broaden its profile with a BSE listing. According to the company’s prospectus and market trackers, the issue is priced at ₹59 a share and will remain open until 3 September. The listing is expected on 8 September.
The Ahmedabad-based company, founded in 2021, works with farmers across parts of Gujarat under a buy-back arrangement that includes certified seed, agronomic guidance and a guaranteed purchase of the crop at pre-agreed prices and quality standards. Its portfolio focuses on processed-grade potato varieties such as Santana, Frysona, Innovator, Lady Rosetta and Chipsona, which are used by processors making French fries, chips and similar products. Market websites tracking the issue say the offer size is ₹32 crore, with a minimum application of 2,000 shares.
Farm Peace has also been leaning on technology to tighten oversight of the crop cycle. The company says its mobile application, launched in September 2023, is designed to improve traceability and operating efficiency. It claims cultivation has scaled sharply, with output rising to 61,680 metric tonnes in FY26 from 55,000 metric tonnes in FY25 and 32,500 metric tonnes in FY24.
The financials in the prospectus point to improving momentum. For the year ended 31 March 2026, Farm Peace reported revenue from operations of ₹9,082.77 lakh, EBITDA of ₹1,248.20 lakh and profit after tax of ₹752.87 lakh, up from ₹7,924.22 lakh, ₹925.99 lakh and ₹666.15 lakh respectively a year earlier. The company says the proceeds will support incremental working capital and general corporate purposes.
The pre-IPO round drew backing from Neeraj Gupta, founder of Meru Cabs, who described the potato contract farming market as fragmented and said the sector is moving towards a more organised, technology-led model. In its prospectus, Farm Peace points to a broader industry tailwind: rising urbanisation, higher disposable incomes and the spread of modern retail and quick-service restaurant chains are lifting demand for processed potato products, while investors in the issue will be weighing that growth story against the risks of a concentrated agricultural supply chain.
