She said the core objective of this cooperative society is to build self-sustainable agri supply chains with its model of 'Farm-factory-fork'.

Saroop said the major challenge in the agriculture sector is the unorganised value chain, and as a result the farmer being at the bottom of this value chain earns less. He said the UMMCL has plans to integrate the whole value chain at one platform by reviving the traditional supply chain to boost agri-economy.
