    Perfume (Attar)

    Kannauj is popularly known as the ‘perfume city’. The ‘Suras’ and ‘Aroma Development Center’ (FFDC) in the district is operational since 1991. This institution has been established in collaboration with UNIDO, Central Government and State Government. The district is best known for its essence, flavor, and fragrance in the International market. In this institution, all the dimensions related to ‘attar’ (the cultivation of the plant, processing, biotechnology, training consultants and other related functions of aromatic plants) are carried out.
