Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has stated that Mumbai’s expanding metro network will play a significant role in strengthening market access for rural dairy producers by improving transportation connectivity and reducing logistics challenges. Speaking at a dairy sector-related event, he highlighted that enhanced infrastructure will help farmers and dairy cooperatives move milk and dairy products more efficiently to urban consumers, creating new opportunities for rural producers.
Fadnavis noted that better connectivity between rural and urban areas is expected to improve supply-chain efficiency, reduce transportation time, and support higher incomes for dairy farmers. He emphasized that infrastructure development remains a key component of Maharashtra’s strategy to strengthen agriculture, dairy, and allied sectors while improving economic opportunities in rural regions.
Industry stakeholders believe that improved transport networks can help reduce post-harvest losses, expand market reach, and support the growth of organized dairy value chains. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to modernize agricultural infrastructure, improve farmer access to markets, and strengthen food supply systems across the state.
