In a statement, the UP government said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath “will flag off a perishable food product prepared according to international standards and send it abroad for the first time”.
The government “is making efforts to turn farmer entrepreneurs into exporters by eliminating middlemen from their businesses”.
“It will increase farmers’ income. In order to achieve this, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) is working nonstop. There will be single window clearance for export from the pack house. Here, perishable food items will be prepared in accordance with global standards. The pack house is accredited by APEDA for export as per international standards,” said the statement.
