Lucknow, 26 April (HS): The UP government aims to triple exports by 2030 due to the ongoing

US-China trade conflict. Using improved infrastructure, a skilled workforce,

and supportive policies, the state hopes to attract global investment and

strengthen its position as a leading export hub, particularly in MSMEs and

leather goods. An official statement released on Saturday outlined plans to

turn this global economic tension into an advantage for the state. According to the statement, although the

US-China stalemate provides greater opportunities for India, Uttar Pradesh is

strategically positioning itself as a preferred investment destination due to

its improved law and order situation, world-class infrastructure, and ample

trained workforce.

The One District One

Product (ODOP) initiative has increased exports from Rs 88,967 crore to more

above Rs 2 lakh crore, as Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has frequently said in

public forums. To attract enterprises,

the UP government is counting on expressways, airports, and canals, as well as

low-cost labor and a thriving MSME sector, to instill trust in its

infrastructure. Uttar Pradesh’s

dedication is reflected in its growing status as a competitor for businesses

wishing to relocate away from China. The

state also intends to introduce a new export policy, as well as initiatives

such as the International Trade Show, to strengthen ‘Brand UP’ globally.
