Exports are the basis of the overall growth performance of any country. By increasing the rate of exports, any developing country can pave a way for the development by earning international liquidity thereby; sort out the problem of reserves to start up of any project to come out the circle of poverty. So, it becomes a paramount importance for the country like India to start export promotion measures to boost up the pace of its exports and India has already taken many steps to increase the level of its exports. It is concluded from the results of the study that Cotton raw including waste, iron ore, plastic and linoleum and transport equipment has been observed as the products in which exports have been increased at the maximum rate, whereas exports of Tea, Iron and steel, Mica and Leather and Manufacturing have been identified as the area in which satisfied results have not been achieved. So, it is suggested by the results of study that government should promote exports of different sectors by providing different incentives to different sectors to avail the opportunity and fill up the gaps as well. Indian agricultural export has undergone significant changes during recent times. In this context, the present study has analysed the trend in exports of agricultural commodities from India, the changes in the comparative advantage, the Indian agricultural export scenario has witnessed during the past decade and the prospects for further boosting the agricultural export. The study has also analysed the comparative advantage of India’s exports, through revealed comparative advantage (RCA). The RCA was improving in case of cotton, maize, and certain fruits and vegetables over time, but declining in case of some spices, rice and wheat. In case of plantation based spices and other commodities, India is gradually losing its comparative edge, mainly to Asian countries. The study has so identified yield improvement through growth in total factor productivity (TFP) as a potential factor that would result in generation of exportable surpluses and boosting India’s export

The term import is derived from the conceptual meaning as to bring in the goods and services into the port of a country. The buyer of such goods and services is referred to an "importer" who is based in the country of import where the overseas based seller is referred to as an "exporter". Thus an import is any good(e.g. a commodity) or service brought in from one country to another country in a legitimate fashion, typically for use in trade. It is a good that is brought in from another country for sale. Imported goods or services are provided to domestic consumers by foreign producers. An import in the receiving country is an export to the sending country.

An Analytical Study on Impact of WTO on Agricultural Trade in IndiaEliza Sharma
This chapter comprises the review of studies related to the agriculture, agriculture trade across the globe, impact of WTO on agriculture sector of different economies including India, and the reforms or changes occurred in agriculture over the period due to the changes in technology and globalization of the economies. The major gaps found from the studies have been discussed at last based on which the objectives of the study have been framed.
Foreign trade plays a vital role in the Indian
economy. As the country need to import diverse products so
foreign trade is extremely important to country. India exports
vast number of products and also imports an equal amount of
other products. Although India has steadily opened up its
economy, its tariffs continue to be high when compared with
other countries, and its investment norms are still restrictive.
This leads some to see India as a ‘rapid globalizer’ while
others still see it as a ‘highly protectionist’ economy.
Nonetheless, in recent years, the government’s stand on trade
and investment policy has displayed a marked shift from
protecting ‘producers’ to benefiting ‘consumers’. India is now
aggressively pushing for a more liberal global trade regime,
especially in services. This paper is an attempt to analyse the
major changes in volume, composition and direction of Indian
Foreign Trade.
In some ways food is unlike other commodities, as local tastes, delivery costs and quality are
particularly significant issues for food producers. Food consumption has traditionally reflected
local conditions, particularly the raw materials available in the region. For this reason it has
been difficult to compare food industries in different countries. In recent years new farm and food
technologies and cheaper international transport have increased trade in food products and
reduced the importance of local conditions in determining consumption patterns. Large multinational food companies now trade food globally. Population growth and urbanisation have led
to the need for mass production of food and mass transportation to urban areas. Technological
progress has improved the quality of food and the speed with which it can be transported.
Transportation networks have been expanded and new methods of food processing such as
freeze-drying have been introduced. Japan’s food industry has changed dramatically as a result. Processed food now accounts for two-thirds of food consumption in Japan, and up to 90 per
cent if dining out and other food services are included. An increase in food imports has been one
of the main factors driving the rise in processed food consumption. Until the early 1990s, most
food imports were of ingredients for processing in Japan. To reduce costs, food processing firms
started to relocate abroad as they built up knowledge of how to manage the labour force and the
manufacturing process in foreign countries. Processed foods previously manufactured in Japan
were then imported directly from overseas affiliates of Japanese multinationals. In addition
barriers to trade and investment have been falling and consumer tastes have been diversifying,
with Western foods becoming more popular. These trends have put pressure on local food manufacturers who had previously been
protected from competition, forcing Japan’s food industry into a period of transition.
This paper provides an overview of Japan’s processed food industry from primary
production to retail sale. It discusses the features and the problems of the industry, and the key
issues facing government, industry, producers and consumers. The industry is currently facing
four types of change: shifts in demand, product or process innovations, changes in market
position and policy changes. These four factors are closely related: for instance, consumer demand affects product and process innovation, and the diversification of industries. What will
these changes mean for the food retailing and processing industry, and are they likely to introduce
greater competition?
The chain of processed food production
Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture classifies food industries into food manufacturing, wholesaling
and retailing industries.

This research was aimed to analyze the effect of ASEAN economic integration on
Indonesian fishery export. This research employed gravity model which was used to analyze
Indonesian fishery export with ASEAN countries and other non-ASEAN main trading partners. The
result of this research indicated that Indonesian fishery export in 2000 - 2015 fluctuated with an
upward trend
International trade plays an important role in the development of economy as a whole. India is the 19th largest exporter with a share of 1.7 to the total global trade and 10th largest importer with share of 2.65 to the global merchandise trade, according to the WTO ranking for the year 2018. International trade enables the countries to widen the scope of marketing for its output. Exports of goods and services of a nation provide better employment opportunities to the people and higher standard of living of home as well as host countries. Exports lead to increase the efficiency on the national output and productivity of factors of production. Export of a country may become a growth driver of national economy. Expansion of foreign trade may bring variety of benefits to the people and economy of the country.

Analysis of agricultural subsectors contribution growth rate in the agricultu...inventionjournals
In the current study, we have analyzed the contribution of agricultural sub-sectors growth rate to
the agriculture GDP growth rate of Pakistan by using secondary data from 2001 to 2015. Ordinary Least
Square (OLS) method was applied to estimate the model parameter. For this purpose the study considered a
dependent variable of agriculture GDP growth rate and several independents variables include major, minor
crops, livestock, fishery and forestry. The regression analysis of the data showed a positive and significant
contribution in agriculture GDP growth rate. However, fishery and forestry sub-sectors contribute growth rates
were considered poor as compared with other sub-sectors could be due to less attention paid from the
government. Our study suggests that Government of Pakistan should consider the importance of both
agricultural sub-sectors to increase there’s contribution growth rate towards agriculture GDP growth rate in
Pakistan.
Microfinance and the Challenge of Financial Inclusion for Sme’s Development i...IOSRJBM
This paper examined microfinance and the challenge of financial inclusion for SMEs development in Nigeria. The study adopted two separate econometrics models for capturing and testing for significance in the stated objectives between 2005 and 2015. The first model determined whether financial inclusion improve the financial well-being of low-income savers in the study period. The second investigated the impact that micro finance has on the performance of small and medium scale enterprises. Each of the models was subjected to the Ordinary Least Square regression to determine the appropriateness of models estimated. Findings from the empirical results in model one (1) and two (2) indicated relationship between financial inclusion in Nigeria, microfinance, and small business enterprises over 10 years period of study. The study found out that there is a significant relationship between financial inclusion and financial well – being of the low income earners. Empirical finding that examines the relationship between microfinance and small business in Nigeria indicates that there is a negative significant relationship between loan to small enterprises and loan to rural areas in Nigeria in the period under study. The study suggests therefore that financial inclusion will have a positive significant impact on the development of small business if the plan to include everyone works in Nigeria.
Corporate Capital of Domestic and Foreign Firms in Africa – An Empirical ReviewIOSRJBM
The study evaluated the existence and nature of systematic competition for corporate capital between local and foreign firms operating in major African economies. The study is motivated by the debate that foreign firms have easier access to corporate capital than domestic firms, and that the problem in the global financial market might push foreign firms to rely more on domestic financial markets for funds. To achieve the goal of this study, both microeconomic and macroeconomic data were sourced from diverse sources – including the World Bank's Global Development Indicators' database and the individual annual financial reports of firms. The data generated a total of 351 firms based in 11 African countries over a period 2009 to 2014. The results show that the average ratio of total liabilities to total assets is slightly higher among the listed foreign firms (at 48.8 percent) than among the listed domestic firms (47.9 percent), although the differences does not appear significant at conventional levels (t-statistic = 0.601; prob.>t = 0.548). For the whole sample also, it is shown that foreign firms have higher long-term liabilities to total asset ratio than domestic firms, and that the difference is significant at 10 percent level. Whereas the average long-term debt ratio among foreign firms stands at 12.1 percent, for domestic firms, the level is 10.7 percent (t-statistic = 1.751; prob.>t = 0.080). In none of the four sub regions, though, does the difference in the long-term debts ratio significantly differ between domestic and foreign firms. Consistent with the statistical evidence, the descriptive results seem to suggest that the survey evidence reported by the World Bank that in Africa, foreign firms are more profitable, larger, more valued in terms of investments in fixed assets, and older than domestic firms is not true. However, as shown in this report, such differences, with the exception of asset tangibility and age, are not very significant at conventional levels. This suggests that the major source of competition for corporate finance in Africa may be on the extent of collateral value and the reputation that arises from firm age

The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between foreign trade and financial performance of the listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study focused on the 32 listed companies randomly drawn from the 74 listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The secondary data extracted from the financial statement of these companies were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. The result shows a significant positive relationship between the two variables. It was therefore recommended that the management and the board of directors of the listed manufacturing companies should intensify efforts on how the locally produced products will be able to penetrate into the foreign countries as it was discovered that majority of the goods produced by the manufacturing companies in Nigeria are consumed locally
The Government Policy on Foreign Direct Investment in Sri LankaIOSRJBM
management know-how, and access to export markets-that are desperately needed in developing countries. However foreign capital can play an important role in raising investment levels so as to accelerate economic growth in Sri Lanka as in the case of many other developing countries which are handicapped by inadequate domestic savings. The purpose of this study is to examine the Government Policy on Foreign Investment in Sri Lanka. FDI increased initially due to the favourable investment environment created by the 1977 reforms. During the 1983-89 period, the incentives for FDI were eroded by the setbacks in the foreign trade and payments liberalisation momentum and the macroeconomic disequilibrium. Even though FDI was felt down in year 2000, there were increasing trend in FDI up to year 2008 and FDI was diminished as a result of global financial crisis in year 2009. Basically due to the secure macroeconomic environment, Sri Lanka reached highest level of FDI in 2014. The prospect for a significant expansion of FDI inflows in to Sri Lanka, however, do not seems too bright. To attract further investment, it is paramount that Sri Lanka be able to provide policy stability.
The Relationship between Dividend Policy and Shareholder’s Wealth (A Case Stu...IOSRJBM
This research is about the relationship between dividend policy and shareholder’s wealth from 37 mining companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2011 to 2013. Independent variable which is used in this research are dividend policy and profitability. Dividend policy is measured as dividend per share (DPS) and profitability is measured as Return On Equity (ROE). Dependent variable which is used in this research is shareholder’s wealth. Shareholders’ wealth is measured as Market Price Per Share (MPPS). Investment opportunity which is measured as fixed asset growth, is used as moderating variable which can strengthen the relationship between independent and dependent variable. The result of this research proves that dividend policy has significant influence to shareholder’s wealth, while investment opportunity, as a moderating variable, is proven to strengthen the relationship between dividend policy and shareholder’s wealth.
Understanding Attitudes towards Gasoline Import Demand in Viet NamIOSRJBM
Even with its vast reserves of oil and gas potential, the government has put this fuel resource the top of priority sectors for development, as it views as central to national economic growth as well as energy security, Viet Nam has remained a net importer of petroleum products over the past eight years. On another word, Gasoline importation has been a superior absorbability on the economy of Viet Nam, the determinants of the refined oil products imported activities analysis have been found no study yet. This paper aims to suggest the leading factors affecting import demand performances for petroleum products. The autoregressive distributed lag modelling framework (ARDL) have applied to this research; we estimated various short-run and long-run import demand models for Gasoline using time series study over the period 1995-2015. The results showed that the application of gas is stable prices in both the long and short term. Other principal operators of gas import probably are the real effective exchange rate, domestic petroleum production, and population growth. Moreover, a real economic activity found the most active and influential driver of gasoline demand accordance with the inelastic and elastic coefficients estimated in the short-run and long-run, respectively.

Impediments and Inducements to Youth Entrepreneurship Development in Sylhet R...IOSRJBM
The purpose of this paper is to explore and identify the key impediments and constraints that obstruct young people from starting and running a new venture and at the same time, inducements and stimuli that trigger youths to entrepreneurial activities. Data were collected from 80 young entrepreneurs of Sylhet, Bangladesh through a questionnaire gleaned from the literature review following a convenience and purposive sampling technique. Findings revealed, insufficient personal savings, high interest rate, and negative attitude of financial institutions to young entrepreneurs due to high default rate are the major impediments to obtaining start-up fund, being their own boss and earning more money are the prime inducements to engage in business. Parents and teachers influenced most to start business while financial risk reported as the most critical demotivator. Managing fund and fierce competition are main problems in running the business successfully. Lack of vocational education and training and inappropriate and inadequate curriculum and study programs are the key educational constraints, unsupportive tax regulations, complex business registration procedure are the leading administrative and regulatory barriers, dearth of information on available business support services and lack of training and business counseling are the major impediments of business support services. The implications of the study bear far-reaching ramifications to the concerned stakeholders for facilitating and encouraging youth entrepreneurship development by addressing the start-up constraints and problems
Job Satisfaction and Faculty Turnover Intentions: A Case of Pakistani Univers...IOSRJBM
Retaining faculty members has been a problem in many universities for decades. When competent teachers quit, they depart with critical knowledge and experience that are essential for maintaininga competitive advantage. The aim of this study was to measure the impact of four facets of job satisfaction on turnover intentions of faculty members of different universities of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. A 16-item, selfadministered questionnaire was used to gather data on independent and dependent variables. In questionnaire, researchers used 5 point Likert scale for variables to measure respondent’s possible responses. 110 questionnaires were completed and returned back. Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression tests were used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that the three facets of job satisfaction i.e. remuneration, supervisory support and work life policies have significant and negative relationship with turnover intentions while recognition has insignificant relationship with turnover intentions and this relationship did not support the researchers’ prediction. Results have been discussed andrecommendations have been made for universities’ administrations.
Health System in India: Opportunities and Challenges for EnhancementsIOSRJBM
One of the basic vitalities of good living is quick access to essential services like health care. But many times it could mean a condition of life and death for an individual who is unable to get the access to these services. Thus an important part of social sector development is incomplete without adequate health care facilities. The quality of human health is the foundation upon which the realization of life goals and objectives of a persona, the community or nation as whole depends. It is both an end and means of development strategy. The relationship between health and development is mutually reinforcing- while health contributes to economic development, economic development, in turn, tends to improve the health status of the population in a country. India as a nation has been growing economically at a rapid pace particularly after the advent of New Economic Policy of 1991. However, this rapid economic development has not been accompanied by social development particularly health sector development. Health sector has been accorded very low priority in terms of allocation of resources. Public expenditure on health is less than 1 per cent of GDP in India. This research paper focuses on the current status of the Indian healthcare industry, the challenges faced plus the comparison of few selected Indian states based on health indicators. Furthermore comparison of India with some developed and developing countries is also employed in order get the clear picture of the health sector. In order to boost the development line, some opportunities in the health care industry are also discussed and necessary policy implications. Regarding in this connection India lags behind in regard of health improvement as compared to U.S.A, Canada, China, and Brazil, but contrary to other developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh the scenario is better with life expectancy, Mortality ratios, health care spending speak volumes about the healthcare status. When analyzed through the prism eye, within India there are large disparities amongst states in achieving health outcomes as well. Before liberalization the improvement was at a snail’s pace, but after liberalization the whole picture changed because the key initiatives to improve the current healthcare standard a two prong strategy focusing on the infrastructure needs and the technology solution were implemented, which resulted in the healthy scenario of the healthcare industry. Healthcare sector, a leading weapon as the contributor to GDP (approx.8%) is thus the matter to be deeply looked into, so that golden harvest is reaped.

This research was carried out starting from the phenomenon of the performance which was not maximized by the employees of State Treasury Service Office in Jakarta. Based on the literature there was a suspicion that the performance which was not maximized due to a weak work culture, work stress and the decreasing of job satisfaction. The purpose of this research was to quantify and explain the relationship between variables of work culture, work stress, job satisfaction and employees performance in the State Treasury Service Office Jakarta. The research method was using quantitative methods. Research locations were located in six State Treasury Service Offices in Jakarta with samples of 152 employees. Data analysis technique was using Partial Least Square (PLS) with the help of Smart program. The results showed that the work culture has no effect on job satisfaction. Work stress has no effect on job satisfaction. Work culture affected to the employee performance. Work stress had no effect on employee performance. Job satisfaction had no effect on performance. The implication of this research was to establish a strong working culture to decrease work stress and increase job satisfaction which ultimately improved employee performance.
Work-Life of Indian Railway's Drivers (Loco-Pilots)IOSRJBM
Railways’ Drivers / Loco-Pilots are the most important person in executing the huge task of transporting nearly 25 Million passengers and more than 2.8 Million Tons of freight daily with the help of 2,29,381 wagons, 59,713 coaches and more than 9,213 locomotive engines of various kinds(www.Indian railways, Wikipedia).To transport 25 million passengers and millions of tons of freight and that too with taking care of both the traveler’s convenience and safety is not a mean task, the driver on whose sincerity the journey of a train depends. If he is not capable of carrying his responsibilities then the efforts of the other employees go waste, in this sense we can say that he is the most important person of the railways. The job of a Railway Driver demands hard work and great presence of mind along with courage to handle diverse conditions. For this one should have discipline, patience, responsibility, punctuality, commitment, courage and above all self-confidence. The job requires lots of hard work, stamina, alertness of mind, adaptability to follow difficult time schedules too. But the main and remarkable, highly appreciable role of Railway drivers is the only who works with full honesty, in day & night, in heavy cold, hot & Rainy weather. For Railways’ drivers operating on long distance routes, overnight stays in various locations will be necessary. Furthermore, it can be stressful, as delays and hazards on the track are not uncommon. His cab of the train should be relatively comfortable but it may be quite cold, hot and noisy.

Abstract: Exports are the basis of the overall growth performance of any country. By increasing the rate of
exports, any developing country can pave a way for the development by earning international liquidity thereby;
sort out the problem of reserves to start up of any project to come out the circle of poverty. So, it becomes a
paramount importance for the country like India to start export promotion measures to boost up the pace of its
exports and India has already taken many steps to increase the level of its exports. It is concluded from the
results of the study that Cotton raw including waste, iron ore, plastic and linoleum and transport equipment has
been observed as the products in which exports have been increased at the maximum rate, whereas exports of
Tea, Iron and steel, Mica and Leather and Manufacturing have been identified as the area in which satisfied
results have not been achieved. So, it is suggested by the results of study that government should promote
exports of different sectors by providing different incentives to different sectors to avail the opportunity and fill
up the gaps as well. Indian agricultural export has undergone significant changes during recent times. In this
context, the present study has analysed the trend in exports of agricultural commodities from India, the changes
in the comparative advantage, the Indian agricultural export scenario has witnessed during the past decade and
the prospects for further boosting the agricultural export. The study has also analysed the comparative
advantage of India’s exports, through revealed comparative advantage (RCA). The RCA was improving in case
of cotton, maize, and certain fruits and vegetables over time, but declining in case of some spices, rice and
wheat. In case of plantation based spices and other commodities, India is gradually losing its comparative edge,
mainly to Asian countries. The study has so identified yield improvement through growth in total factor
productivity (TFP) as a potential factor that would result in generation of exportable surpluses and boosting
India’s export.
I. Introduction
Performance of agricultural export has always attracted policy makers’ attention, as it is an important
source of foreign exchange earnings, driver of crop diversification and farm income improvements. The coming
into force of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) has brought a qualitative change in the deliberations on the
topic. The domestic preparedness to deal with a globalised and interconnected world, with increased concern on
intellectual properties, food safety and quality aspects and international movements of finances and services on
the one hand, and domestic livelihood and food security concerns on the other hand, has generated substantial
debate. One concern that ran through all the arguments was the ability of the domestic agriculture to cope up
with demands of the new paradigm of international monitoring and regulations. Two decades have passed since
the WTO came into existence. During this span of time, some of the initial apprehensions have dissipated.
However, a different set of problems, notably faster transmission of international price volatility to domestic
markets, higher rates of rejection on account of sanitary and phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures, and restriction in
providing subsidy supports have emerged. During the past two decades, the domestic agricultural sector has also
witnessed several changes, including the composition of public and private investments in agricultural research
with greater participation of private sector, emergence of new institutional innovations like contract farming and
farmer producer companies, change in the composition of the demand for agricultural commodities in the
domestic market, and diversification towards high value crops which has led to differential growth experience
for different commodity groups. Accordingly, the focus of agricultural output is also undergoing a paradigm
shift.
The competition that a country offers in the international markets for its export depends on a number of
factors. A country whose domestic consumption is low and volume of exports is high in terms of share in world
exports would be able to provide stiff competition in international markets (Bhattacharya 2002). One major
factor that affects the export prospects is the ability of the country to generate exportable surpluses (Singh and
Sain 2003) which is dynamic during a period of time and bound to undergo shifts, depending on the macro-
economic changes

Analytical approach for measuring the export performance:
Compound growth Rate of different export products has been worked out by fitting exponential function. Using
the least square method, the following form of exponential function has been used to calculate Compound
Growth Rate.
Y=AB
Y =AB

Where, Y=Export
A=Constant
B=1+r
R=Compound growth rate
t=time variable in years (1, 2-------15)
The compound growth rate (r) is equal to (B-1) x 100. In log form B has been calculated by the
following formula:

Change in composition of India’s agricultural export
During the period under analysis, the exports of all commodity groups have registered an increase in
value terms. However, there was a change in the composition of export characterised by an increase in the share
of meat (and meat products), cereals, spices, sugar, oilseeds, cotton and guargum and a decline in the share of
the fish (and fish products), vegetables, fruits and some traditional export commodities like tea and coffee
(Table 2).
In the total export of US$ 30 billion in 2012-13, the major items of export were cotton (17.3%), cereals
(16.4%), fish and marine products (7.6%) and meat (6.9%). Notwithstanding the decline in share of some
commodities, all the commodity groups have registered significant positive growth rates. One notable
commodity has been meat and meat products which have registered a growth rate of 27.6% with a low
instability at 4.8%. This was mainly due to the growth in export of buffalo meat which account for close to 80%
of total meat exported. Another significant sector is marine fish and fish products which has registered a growth
rate of 8%/year. The marine products’ export is facing a slowdown in recent periods, mainly on account of
reduced demand in European and United States market. Further, there has been stagnation in marine fish
production in recent years. Other significant commodity groups in terms of growth performance are spices and
cereals. Among non-food crops, cotton and natural gums/resins have registered significant export growth.
Cotton has traditionally contributed to Indian foreign exchange earning through textile export. Such a raise in
export contributed by productivity improvement through research and development activities (Rajendran et al.
2005). In case of cotton, the production advantage brought about by Bt cotton technology helped India to
achieve higher export levels. The highest export growth is in guargum, mainly on

account of sudden rise in its demand for industrial uses. The high level of instability points to the vulnerability
part of the demand. This is quite noticeable in case of sugar, in which case the export has expanded at the rate of
close to 25%/year, but with a high instability of 45%. This is mainly owing to the policy shifts in case of sugar,
which includes restriction on its exports at times when domestic prices rise.

authors using data from FAO.
Where total production has stagnated. One notable feature is that Asian countries are gradually
emerging as the major competitors for Indian exports, notably in case of plantation crops. For example, in terms
of producer prices, Sri Lanka is a competitor of India in case of tea; Thailand in case of sugarcane; Malaysia, Sri
Lanka and Thailand in case of natural rubber and Vietnam in case of black pepper. This is on account of
stagnation in productivity of the crops. Another contributing factor might be the lack of private capital formation
in plantation sector. Agricultural price movements in India are mainly influenced by international prices rather
than output fluctuations (Sekhar 2003). Many commodities produced in tropical regions have low demand-
supply elasticities. Therefore, even small changes in prices may lead to volatility in prices (Kuruvila et al.
2012). There seems to be a high level of instability in prices of plantation crops. The instability of prices
dissuades farmers from undertaking long term investments in agriculture, compromising long-term
sustainability.
The production of rice and wheat also expanded at an annual rate of 2.0 and 2.7%, respectively. The
growth in production in rice has entirely been contributed by yield expansion whereas that in case of wheat was
contributed by both area and yield improvement. In case of rice, large scale transition of area from non-basmati
to basmati is noticed in Haryana and Punjab. However, the domestic price of basmati rice is highly dependent
on international prices. The ban on the exports of non-basmati rice while permitting the export of basmati rice in
the recent past might also have contributed to expansion of area under basmati rice. Deceleration of TFP might
4. An overview of export performance of agricultural products in India

have contributed to the stagnation of yield growth in case of wheat (Bhushan 2005), while in case of rice it
might be due to the reduced input intensification despite a catching up of the TFP by low productivity states in
recent periods (Suresh 2013).
India imports close to 14% of the total requirement of pulses. Chickpea and pigeonpea are the major
pulses consumed in India. There is a glaring difference in the growth performance of these crops. The growth in
production of chickpea has been at the rate of 5.9%/year-contributed by 4% growth in the area and rest by yield.
Pigeon pea expanded its production at the rate of 1.9% contributed largely by the expansion of area (at the rate
of 0.7%/year). Chand et al. (2011) has noted, contrasting performance of TFP growth in case of both chickpea
and pigeonpea, during the period of 1970-2005, characterised by an improvement in the case of former and a
moderation in case of the latter.
India meets close to half of the domestic requirement of oilseeds through imports. In 2012, India
imported vegetable oils worth US $ 97.9 million. Of India’s production of 29.8 million tonnes of edible oil in
2012, more than 80 % of production is contributed by three crops, viz. soybean (40.8%), groundnut (23.4%) and
rapeseed/mustard (22.1%) (DES 2014). During the past decade, yield of oilseeds have depicted positive trends,
ranging from 0.46% in sunflower and 9.08% in soybean. Oilseeds in general have experienced a
stagnation/deceleration of TFP growth for a long period of time (Chandel 2007, Chand et al. 2011). It is
forecasted that given high income elasticity of demand, and improvement of the per capita income, the total
demand for edible oils by 2030 would be to the tune of 25 million tonnes. There were some concerted efforts to
improve the domestic oilseeds production, with the initiative of Technology Mission on Oilseeds and later with
the inclusion of oil palm under the ambit of the programme. However, at current level of yield growth and area
expansion, India will not be able to meet the domestic requirement without imports.
The major spices exported from India are chillies, coriander, pepper and cardamom. There was a clear
difference in the trends in productivity of these crops. Chillies and coriander have depicted positive growth,
while cardamom and pepper show negative growth. However, positive growth trend in area was noted only in
case of coriander. In view of the stagnation of yields and the high level of completion from other countries,
notably Vietnam, India is likely to see a weakening of export prospects in future too.
Fruits in general have exhibited an improvement in production with some exceptions. Amongst five
fruits under consideration, only banana has shown robust growth rates in yield, while all others exhibited
positive trend growth in area under cultivation. In case of grapes the statistically significant negative yield
growth would be a limiting factor in boosting its exports. Another crop of high level of export prospects is
pomegranate but its share in the total export is very low. The development of superior quality of pomegranate
varieties and pacagae of practice has helped to boost its production, notably from rain fed regions. This would in
future, contribute to boosting the export. Going by export shares the most important fruits exported from India is
Mango. The area under mango has depicted significant growth in the past decade. However, slow growth in
productivity is a concern for the crop Among the nuts, cashew is the most important one, exported from India.
However, India’s export of cashew kernel is dependent on the large scale import of raw cashew nuts (in shell)
Imported mainly from African countries.
Productivity stagnation at national level continues to be an impediment in its export performance.All
the vegetable crops considered have registered significant growth in production,however productive has been
growing significantly only in case of onion, tomato and cauliflower. The onion production has grown at the rate
of about 14.4% per year, triggered by expansion of both area and productivity improvement. The production
frowth at the rate of about 5.4% in potato was contributed mainly by area expansion (4.8%) with no prominent
impacts of productivity growth. There are improved varieties suitable for processing and export. However,
India’s ability to improve production of quality potatoes depend on improving the value chain in terms of higher
share of benifits to the farmers and development of institutional initiatives like contract farming.
II. Conclusion And Implications
The present study has anaylysed the trend in exports of agricultural commodities from India during the
past decade and examined the prospects of boosting it. The study finds that there was significant improvement
in the export of agricultural commodities, but this was characterised by a shift in commodity composition. This
would implication on the area allocation for crops, crop diversification and farm income. Significant increase in
the share in total export has been noted in case of cereals, guargum, cotton, spices, and sugar. On the other hand,
the share has declined in some commodities ,fish and marine products, fruits and nuts, coffee and Tea. Among
the major commodity groups high growth rates were registered by basmati rice and maize in case of cereals,
chillies and coriander among spices, mango and grapes among fruits. And onion and potato among vegetables.
Consistent growth with low instability was noted in case of meat and meat products and spices. Some
commodities with high growth is depicting high instability ss well, as seen in guargum and other resins, sugar
and cotton . The high instability carries a risk of falling market prices, and is a concern for assuring farm income
to the farmers and for linking them with markets.

The comparative advantage improved in case of cotton, maize, and certain fruits and vegetables over
time, but declined in case of some plantation crops, rice and wheat. In case of plantation based spices and other
commodities, India is gradually losing its comparative edge, mainly to Asian countries. Improving the
comparative advantage in export warrants generation of exportable surplus and internationally competent
prices. There was wide variation in the growth in yield of various crops and crop groups. Yield improvements
through changes in TFP would be a potential factor that would determine India’s ability to generate exportable
surplus, comparative advantage and export growth.
Implications
The Indian government will have to evolve a comprehensive long term strategy, which can be formulated
only on the basis of an extensive study of consumer preferences in terms of style, colour, design etc.
There is an urgent need for the technological upgradation of export industries.
There is an urgent need for the improvement in the quality of product, standards and packaging.
There has been emerged an urgent need of promoting diversification of agriculture.
Indian government should provide special incentives for the gems and jewellery sector.
There should be given more incentives in the specialization of handloom goods, improve market access
information.
