Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Sunday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for supporting the state's Araku coffee in his latest 'Mann Ki Baat' episode.

The Prime Minister also posted two photographs of himself, Naidu and others enjoying a cup of Araku coffee in the port city of Visakhapatnam in 2016.

Responding to the PM's post, Naidu addressed the ex and said, “Thank you for sharing this, Narendra Modi, and for actually supporting the Made in AP (Andhra Pradesh) product. I look forward to enjoying another cup with you."

In his monthly radio programme, Modi said he was a fan of Araku coffee and its cultivation was closely linked to tribal empowerment.

According to Andhra Pradesh CM, Araku coffee is grown with 'love and devotion by our tribal sisters and brothers'.

“It represents a blend of sustainability, tribal empowerment and innovation. This is a reflection of the immense potential of our people of Andhra Pradesh,” Naidu said.

Araku Valley is located in the Paderu sub-division of Alluri Sitarama Raju district in the southern state.
