"Our government has built four pack houses in the state. Recently, we got the opportunity to send two tonnes of mangoes to Dubai from the pack house in Varanasi, and we will have to organize similar programmes from the Saharanpur, Amroha, and Lucknow pack houses," Adityanath said.

He added that in order to bring horticulture crops to the international market, agricultural scientists and officers of the Horticulture Department will need to work together.

"Only then will we be able to explore new avenues and give the agricultural and horticultural products of Uttar Pradesh a different identity," he said.
