About Item
Village-Level Aggregation Transport Service is a coordinated logistics solution that collects agricultural produce from multiple farmers within a village or cluster and transports it collectively to mandis, warehouses, processing units, or procurement centers. The service improves load efficiency, reduces transport cost per farmer, and strengthens rural supply chain coordination.
Overview
Small and marginal farmers often face challenges in transporting small quantities of produce individually. This leads to higher per-unit freight costs and logistical inefficiencies.
The Village-Level Aggregation Transport Service (VLATS) consolidates produce at a village collection point before dispatching it in bulk, ensuring optimized transport utilization and improved profitability.
