Union Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said the government is setting up a multi-state export house for the promotion and export of agriculture products to the world market with the Amul Brand.  

Addressing the farmer’s conference at Bavla in Ahmedabad district, the Minister said the export house will focus on the promotion of organic products and will provide monetary benefits directly to the farmers.
