Agriculture Export: India's brilliant performance in agriculture, processed food exports.
May 10, 2023

India performed well in agriculture exports last season. During 2022-23, agricultural and processed food exports increased by 9 percent. This included rice, fruits and vegetables, livestock and dairy products.
 
In this year, India exported 2 thousand 630 crore dollars. Whereas the exports under Apeda have reached the target of 2 thousand 356 crore dollars.
 
India is an important rice exporting country in the world. India accounts for 45 percent of the total world rice trade. The demand for rice in the world market has increased since last year. Floods in East Asian countries, Africa and Europe as well as Pakistan had increased the demand for rice.
 
Also, India's rice prices in rice exporting countries are lower. As a result, India's rice got a good boost and exports increased. India exported rice to nearly 75 countries.
 
Rice export significant
 
According to the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics, the value of India's rice exports has increased by 15 percent. India exported rice worth 1 thousand 110 crore dollars. India had banned the export of broken rice.
 
Also, 20 percent export duty was imposed on white rice exports . Despite this, there was a 5 percent increase in exports to 223 lakh tonnes.
 
Export of fruits, vegetables
 
India's exports of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables also increased significantly. After Corona, the demand for fruits and vegetables has increased in the global market. India is benefiting from this.
 
India's exports increased by nearly 19 percent to 380 crore dollars. Also, exports of cereals and processed food products increased by 20 percent. India exported $430 million worth of food grains and processed food products during the year.
 
Exports of which items decreased?
 
But India's exports of meat, dairy and poultry products declined somewhat. Last year there was a crisis of various diseases on livestock in the country. Breeding of livestock was reduced during Corona period. Lumpy disease affected cattle.
 
Due to this, the milk production in the country decreased and created a shortage. Its effect was felt on exports. India exports meat, dairy and poultry products worth 400 crores in a year.
