The chief minister said in the last five years several steps have been taken to promote the traditional products of Uttar Pradesh globally.

He said to ensure this, the state government first carried out mapping, then identified one product from each district and encouraged artisans and manufacturers with clear guidelines on designing, marketing, branding and packaging.

Adityanath said UP's exports have jumped from Rs 86,000 crore in 2017-18 to Rs 1.56 lakh crore now. He said products of all the 75 districts of UP are displayed at IITF in line with the Vocal for Local and Local for Global slogan given by the prime minister.
