The Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Export Policy, introduced in 2019<\/strong> and amended in 2021<\/strong>, establishes an ambitious framework to double agricultural exports<\/strong> to US$2524 million by 2024. Prioritizing sustainable produce<\/strong>, value-added <\/strong>processing, and indigenous organic <\/strong>cultivation, this comprehensive policy implements several strategic interventions <\/strong>that collectively strengthen the state’s position in global agricultural markets:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Multi-tiered governance structure<\/strong>: The three-level committee <\/strong>system operates at State, Division, and District levels. This robust framework ensures focused monitoring <\/strong>and swift resolution <\/strong>of challenges, effectively bridging <\/strong>policy decisions with ground-level execution<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Cluster-based development approach<\/strong>: The policy provides graduated financial support <\/strong>from 10-40 lakhs based on land size<\/strong>. This approach dedicates resources to high-potential areas<\/strong>, enabling economies of scale <\/strong>and standardized quality <\/strong>production that meets international market <\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Transportation subsidies<\/strong>: Targeted subsidies of 25% <\/strong>for air\/waterways and 10% <\/strong>for rail\/road directly address geographical disadvantages <\/strong>of the state (landlocked nature). These incentives make UP’s agricultural products more price-competitive <\/strong>in global markets.<\/li>\n
  4. Export facilitation centers<\/strong>: These one-stop service points <\/strong>reduce procedural complexities <\/strong>and information gaps<\/strong>. They provide exporters with streamlined access <\/strong>to certification, documentation and market intelligence that accelerates export processes.<\/li>\n
  5. Market fee exemptions<\/strong>: The policy waives mandi fees <\/strong>and user charges <\/strong>for export-oriented produce. This reduction in transaction costs <\/strong>enables more competitive pricing and creates direct procurement channels <\/strong>that preserve product quality.<\/li>\n
  6. Processing unit incentives<\/strong>: New processing facilities near agricultural clusters <\/strong>receive 10% of their export turnover (up to Rs. 25 lakhs) for five years. This encourages value-addition <\/strong>infrastructure that transforms <\/strong>raw commodities into higher-priced processed exports<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  7. Educational support programs<\/strong>: Export education subsidies cover 50% of fees for specialized agricultural export courses<\/strong>. These programs develop a skilled workforce <\/strong>knowledgeable in international trade requirements, certification standards, and market-specific practices.<\/li>\n
  8. Global market linkages<\/strong>: The policy supports international buyer-seller meets <\/strong>and exhibition participation<\/strong>. These platforms create direct connections with overseas buyers and help producers understand global market preferences <\/strong>and requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The policy shows promising progress<\/strong>, with a 5.5% growth<\/strong> in farm export value to Rs. 19,000 crore in 2022-23. This upward trajectory<\/strong> supports the broader goal of doubling farmer incomes<\/strong> by increasing global market access<\/strong> and value realization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
