In many regions, governments actively promote crops unique to their areas. In this context, the peanuts of Jhansi district in Uttar Pradesh are now in the spotlight. The state government has devised a strategic plan to bring the delicious taste of Jhansi’s peanuts to the global stage by developing the region as a peanut cluster.
If implemented successfully, this initiative will open national-level markets for Jhansi’s peanuts and enable their export to international markets. Known statewide for peanut cultivation, this scheme also aims to boost farmers’ incomes in the district.
Speaking to the media, the Senior Agricultural Marketing Inspector of Jhansi stated, “A proposal to establish an export-focused peanut cluster has been submitted to the State-Level Agricultural Export Monitoring Committee. Once approved, a district-level committee will be formed under the District Magistrate’s leadership, and the cluster development work will commence.”
