Notwithstanding logistical challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic, India's exports of Agricultural and Processed Food products rose by more than 23 per cent in terms of USD in the first ten months of the current fiscal (April 2020-January 2021) compared to the same period of the previous year.
 
Looking at five-yearly growth, it is observed that the export of agriculture and allied products have increased from a total of Rs. 896708.84 crore during 2009-14 to Rs. 1193463 crores during 2014-19.
