Uttar Pradesh may soon have exclusive rights over five of its most
famous products. The Export Promotion Bureau of Uttar Pradesh and the
Indian Industries Association are working to acquire geographical
indicator certifications for the same.
The five area-specific products include brassware of Moradabad, mango
of Malihabad, glassware of Ferozabad, leather of Kanpur and chikankari
products.
"A detailed plan is being worked out for the promotion of UP
handicrafts," informed Prabhat Kumar, joint commissioner, Export
Promotion Bureau (EPB), Uttar Pradesh.
Referring to the importance of branding the traditional crafts of the
state, Jacob Thomas, principal secretary, UP Small Scale Industry and
Export Promotion, said that these crafts are unmatched anywhere in the
world, but require a strong marketing support.
He further informed that for the remaining four years of the 11th five
year plan, a detailed Plan of Action for popularising these
traditional crafts will be worked out in April this year.
He was speaking on the occasion of a workshop on the "Use of IPR to
Boost Exports".
