Speaking on the occasion Jyoti Saroop (chief promoter Unati) said that the major suffering in the agriculture sector is the unorganized value chain. Due to this unorganized value chain, the farmer being at the bottom of this value chain earns less. UMMCL has plans to integrate the whole value chain into one platform by reviving the traditional supply chain to boost the agri-economy. The farmer will be supported not only by buying the produce but value adding at the first step so they can be brought up in the value chain. He also added that cooperatives on whole provide the best working principles for the agricultural economy. UMMCL is promoted by the Unati cooperative marketing-cum-processing Society Ltd. Talwara (Punjab) and the J&K Dairy Producers Processors and marketing cooperative union limited (JKDCUL) Jammu.
