Business Standard · business

The Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Export Policy, originally introduced in 2019 and amended in 2021, aims to boost agricultural exports from the state. It focuses on creating commodity-based export clusters, with a minimum size of 50 hectares, and provides financial assistance for infrastructure and freight. The policy supports farmers, farmer groups, producer organisations, and exporters by facilitating sorting, grading, packaging, and post-harvest management. It also offers exemptions on mandi fees and development cess, alongside capacity building and institutional support to connect local produce with international markets.
