Under the linkage programme, the Shalimar Cattle Feed has agreed to provide marketing support to the farmers of the area. The Shalimar Cattle Feed will procure the maize crop from the fields of the farmers at a price which will be more than the market rate of the maize at that time and in return will give them the feed worth the amount of the maize taken at their factory rate.
