UP Eyes Export Push In Animal Husbandry Sector, Explores PPP Opportunities With Industry

Lucknow: The export potential of Uttar Pradesh’s animal husbandry sector and opportunities for public private partnerships were discussed at a stakeholders meeting organised by the Department of Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Dairy Development in association with the Indo American Chamber of Commerce.

Officials said the export scope in animal husbandry is expanding rapidly due to rising global demand for high quality, protein rich products and India’s strong livestock base. Key export commodities include frozen and deboned poultry products, dairy products, honey and processed leather.

Major export destinations include the United States, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and several countries in the Middle East, with significant scope for further expansion.

The meeting focused on strengthening collaboration between the government and private sector to boost exports from the state. The department highlighted the need to improve infrastructure, ensure quality standards and attract investment to position Uttar Pradesh as a competitive hub for animal husbandry exports.
