After the successful export of varieties of agricultural products like mango, fresh green vegetables, and marigold flowers, the water chestnuts from the local ponds in Varanasi are all set to hit the Gulf markets with their first consignment soon to go.
 
The first consignment of 400 kg water chestnut is being sent to Dubai.
 
Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for ‘vocal for local’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) has been focusing on the promotion of exports of locally sourced indigenous and ethnic agricultural products.
 
'We are sending the first consignment of the locally produced water chestnuts to the UAE,' said a senior official of the APEDA, an apex body under the Ministry of Commerce & industry.
 
APEDA chairman Abhishek Dev emphasized the immense potential of agricultural products exports from Uttar Pradesh and said the APEDA is making all possible efforts to promote agri-export in Purvanchal region, especially in Varanasi, and will continue to do so.
