Let us consider the example of milk consumption. It has a long chain of markets in reaching to the people in the big city. It starts with the small farmers or villagers who have one to five cows or buffaloes in the villages. They sell milk to Ghusi (milkmen). The Ghusi collect milk, from each cow/buffalo owner every night and morning. They give this collection to either dairy farms or traders. The trader collects a huge quantity of milk from rural area, through Ghusis. The trader provides this bulk of milk to dairy farms like Mother Dairy in Delhi or some times small dairy farms. In turn, these big or small dairy farms supply milk either in packets or loose to us (consumers) directly through dairy centres or through shops in the cities.
The people who help in the production or trade of milk are—villagers who domesticate cows/buffaloes in the rural area, Ghusi (milkmen), traders (in between Ghusis and dairy farms), dairy farmers, and shop keepers in the towns or cities.
