UP International Trade Show: A Catalyst for MSMEs and ODOP, Says Minister Rakesh Sachan

In an exclusive conversation with OneIndia, Uttar Pradesh’s Minister of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), Rakesh Sachan, lauded the UP International Trade Show as a transformative event for the state’s economy, particularly for the MSME sector and the One District One Product (ODOP) initiative.

Minister Sachan remarked on the event’s significant role, saying, “This trade show offers an exceptional platform where MSMEs from across Uttar Pradesh can present their products under one roof. It’s a fantastic opportunity for ODOP products to gain exposure, both nationally and internationally.”

The show has attracted notable international attention, with 450 representatives from over 70 countries participating in B2B meetings. “This overwhelming response from global buyers is a clear reflection of the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath,” said Sachan. He stressed that the event provides a substantial boost to local products, helping them reach new markets globally.

Sachan also highlighted the financial benefits for handicraft workers and those associated with the ODOP initiative, stating, “This is more than just a trade show—it’s a major opportunity for artisans and entrepreneurs to benefit financially and contribute to the ‘Made in India’ initiative.”

In his remarks, the minister underscored the inclusiveness of the event, referring to it as a “golden platform” for micro, small, medium, and large enterprises to exhibit, engage in sales, and expand their reach both domestically and internationally.

“This event showcases Uttar Pradesh’s diverse range of products and services, allowing Indian and foreign audiences to see firsthand the state’s manufacturing capabilities,” added Sachan.

As the UP International Trade Show garners global attention, it continues to reinforce the state’s growing economic influence, aligned with both state and national development strategies.
