- Buyer of Maize is available at farmer’s doorstep.
- Silage improves animal health and hence reduces the medicine cost at dairy.
- Easy availability of quality feed in fodder scarcity period increase the profitability of lean penods.
- Silage increase in production of milk of dairy thereby increase of profitability
