Lucknow: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will inaugurate 'Aam Mahotsav-2022' (mango festival) at Awadh Shilpgram in Lucknow on Monday.
The festival will conclude on July 7.
The festival is being organised to increase production of mangoes and income of farmers by bringing various stakeholders on a common platform. Farmers will also be made aware about marketing strategies during the festival.
Changing weather patterns have affected mango production all over the world and bringing stakeholders together can help beat such challenges, an official said.
At least 65% of the world's mango production (20.4 million tonnes) is from India. UP produces 22% of the country's total mangoes (4.5 million tonnes). There are mango belts in 13 districts of UP.
