Brief description of Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Growth and Rural Enterprise Ecosystem Strengthening Project (UPAGREES)

Through the UP Agriculture Growth and Rural Enterprise Ecosystem Strengthening (UPAGREES) project, it is proposed to identify the deficiencies in agriculture and allied sectors and to qualitatively increase the productivity of major crops as well as to develop post-harvest management/value addition activities and market support system for specific agricultural products. The project will create means of employment at the local level by developing storage/food processing and related infrastructure facilities for agriculture and allied sectors, which will lead to expected increase in the income of farmers.
