The new plant aims to support local dairy farmers by creating stronger procurement networks and improving milk collection systems. By integrating farmers from the surrounding districts into Purabi’s supply chain, the initiative is designed to provide stable market access and improve income opportunities for smallholder producers. Strengthening farm-to-plant logistics will also help ensure a steady supply of raw milk for processing.

Purabi Dairy, operated under the West Assam Milk Producers’ Cooperative Union, continues to play a key role in the region’s dairy development. The expansion into Barak Valley is part of a larger strategy to scale up processing capacity, modernize infrastructure and boost the production of packaged milk and value-added dairy products for regional consumers.

The Silchar plant is expected to improve the availability of safe and processed milk products in the Barak Valley, where demand for packaged dairy is growing. Enhanced local processing will reduce reliance on milk transported from distant regions while strengthening the resilience of the regional dairy supply chain.
