The Uttar Pradesh government has rolled out a multi-faceted initiative to revolutionize the state's agricultural landscape, with an eye toward boosting exports and fortifying food and nutritional security.
A cornerstone of this strategy is the installation of fruit and vegetable processing units across districts, intended to create local employment and streamline the supply chain from cultivation to market.
Additionally, an Indo-Dutch Centre of Excellence for floriculture and vegetable farming will be established in Barabanki to promote research and training. Efforts also include developing an Export Hub near Jewar International Airport and the completion of the first Gamma Irradiation Plant in Lucknow to meet international standards.
