Under ODOP, Agro and Textile products from MP reach Middle East, Bangladesh and other global markets

Agricultural and Textile products from Madhya Pradesh which are identified under One District One Product (ODOP) have expanded to reach markets in the Middle East and Bangladesh. Now, the state government is looking to venture into new and unexplored markets to further expand the reach of these products.

Saudi Arabia, UAE, and other Middle East countries have emerged as the top importers of agricultural and agro-processed products from Madhya Pradesh. Bangladesh, on the other hand, has taken the lead in importing textile products from the state. Incidentally, Australia, Japan and Europe are also importers of textile from here.

Notably, items under 38 ODOP categories are exported from Madhya Pradesh. However, this number is expected to increase with the addition of more districts under the sceme.

New rice mills coming up across Eastern Madhya Pradesh are expected to provide a boost to agricultural manufacturing and exports from the state.
