Wednesday, 20 January 2021 | PNS | Lucknow

The products from Uttar Pradesh are getting good response from abroad as the state has got a large number of export orders for goods like rice, medicines, carpets, silk, fertilisers, sugar, toys and fish products.

According to the latest data released by the Central government, Uttar Pradesh has outpaced many states including Telangana, Kerala, Punjab, West Bengal, in terms of exports during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Uttar Pradesh has been successful in maintaining the fifth position in the country in terms of exports. UP has come out with a new export policy under which the government is also working to increase the number of exporters,” a government spokesman said in a statement issued here on Tuesday.

There are more than 10,000 exporters in the state.

During the pandemic, in just eight months from April to November 2020, goods (including milk, flour, sugar, artificial flowers, rice, silk, etc.) worth Rs 72,508 crore were exported from UP, which is almost double than the exports of the previous year. Out of this, the export of food grains was around Rs 1054.20 crore.

The state’s exports have been steadily increasing since 2017-18. Products worth Rs 1,14,042.72 crore and Rs 83,999.92 crore were exported in 2018-19 and 2019-20, respectively.

Uttar Pradesh has also started working towards developing the Make in UP brand. For this, preparations are underway to develop each district as an export hub. Soon Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be taking a decision in this regard.
