For the first time, high-quality mangoes produced by Uttarakhand growers are being exported to Dubai. This is being done to promote local products and boost the economy of small farmers. Last week, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami flagged off the first consignment of these mangoes as well as honey and kidney beans (rajma) produced in Uttarakhand for Dubai and the US.
Dhami said, “The state’s products being sent for the international market in collaboration with Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) is a commendable initiative. In the coming time, there will be a qualitative increase for international marketing of local products of Uttarakhand.”
