Purvanchal emerges as export hub for green vegetables

Varanasi, Oct 14 (UNI) The Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh is fast emerging as the export hub for green vegetables within the country, thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s consistent efforts to enhance farmers’ income on the one hand and do justice to the fertile land of the region on the other.

Huge consignments of fresh green vegetables were flown to the Gulf countries for the second time recently in less than two years from Purvanchal despite the crisis unleashed by the novel coronavirus, benefitting farmers substantially in terms of income. The increased frequency of exports of green vegetables and mangoes to the UK and the Gulf region from Purvanchal has also enabled not only the large Indian expatriate population, but other foreign residents, as well as the sheikhs of the Gulf region, to get to taste their choicest Indian vegetables and fruits more often.
