The event will serve as an international platform for progressive farmers, startups, and companies from Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh is set to showcase its rich agricultural culture at the third edition of the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show (UPITS) 2025, scheduled to be held in Greater Noida from September 25 to 29 under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the five-day mega event on Thursday.
The Agriculture Department has been allocated a 1,000-square-meter exhibition area, where it will highlight the state’s progressive farming practices, agricultural technologies, and innovations. The exhibition will bring together five agricultural universities, the Uttar Pradesh Seed Development Corporation, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) Varanasi, as well as leading companies dealing in seeds, fertilizers, equipment, and plant protection chemicals.
Focus on Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs)
With the support and coordination of the Agriculture Department, more than 15 Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) from across the state—including Prayagraj, Etah, Jhansi, Meerut, Mahoba, Saharanpur, Barabanki, Gautam Budh Nagar, Lucknow, Siddharth Nagar, and Bulandshahr—will participate. These FPOs will exhibit agricultural products, equipment, and innovations, giving farmers a direct platform to connect with national and international buyers.
