Lucknow, August 12 - Uttar Pradesh's Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is spearheading the state's transition into a leading agricultural producer and processing hub. Under his administration's policies promoting investment, 40 food processing projects have received Letters of Comfort across Purvanchal and Madhyanchal regions. Notably, over 21 projects have been established in Purvanchal alone.
Previously confined to certain industrial centers, investment is now being directed towards expanding and diversifying business activities from key cities like Prayagraj, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Ayodhya, Amethi, Deoria, Hardoi, Sitapur, and Kanpur Dehat. This shift is giving rise to a robust industrial network encompassing food processing, beverages, dairy, and agriculture-based manufacturing across eastern and central Uttar Pradesh.
Ten food processing projects have emerged in Purvanchal, accelerating industrial growth in districts including Prayagraj, Amethi, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Ayodhya, Barabanki, and Deoria. Companies such as Varun Beverages in Prayagraj, Amethi, and Gorakhpur and CP Milk and Food Products in Gorakhpur are strengthening their presence in these regions.
Varun Beverages' beverage manufacturing projects in Prayagraj and Amethi, as well as Amul's dairy project in Varanasi, are significant examples of the growing investment. The expansion of food processing industries in Purvanchal is enhancing local value addition for agricultural produce and strengthening farmer-supply chain linkages.
In Madhyanchal, 12 projects are underway, with Hardoi rapidly becoming a major food processing hub. Companies like Varun Beverages, ITC, Balaji Wafers, Haldiram, United Breweries, Globus Spirits, Neel Shree Sugar, and RSPL Limited are investing in the region, broadening its industrial base. The Yogi Government's strategy aims to connect agricultural production with food processing and organized manufacturing, boosting local value addition, creating employment opportunities, and strengthening the state's economy towards its goal of becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.
