What evidence exists on the effectiveness of public–private partnerships (PPP) in enhancing agricultural productivity and value chains in Uttar Pradesh?
Public–private partnerships (PPPs) in Uttar Pradesh have shown positive impacts on agricultural productivity and value chains. Initiatives include market-linked maize and potato cultivation programs, modern post-harvest infrastructure for storage, grading, and processing, and state-of-the-art seed parks producing high-quality, region-specific seeds. These collaborations between government and private firms help improve farmer incomes, reduce post-harvest losses, enhance market access, and strengthen the overall efficiency and resilience of agricultural value chains in the state.
