Pashmina goat fibre value-add cooperative in Leh

Unverified

Leh's nomadic Changpa community herds the world's only Pashmina goats but raw fibre exits to Kashmir for processing — the high margin captured downstream, not by the herders. A grading-cleaning-spinning co-op redirects 2–3× more value to the source.
