It can 4e seen that the 4alance of trade has 4y and far 4een positi)e in the agricultural sector
pro)iding the )alua4le foreign e#change re=uired for iports of other capital goods!
-oodities such as raw cotton2 rice2 fruits and )egeta4les2 spices2 tea and the arine
products has shown a consistently rising e#port potential! India has a distinct ad)antage in all
agricultural coodities e#cept in sugarcane2 groundnut2 sunflower and pulses!
India also has a natural ad)antage due to )aried agro-cliatic conditions for producing a
)ariety of seeds2 crop2 edicinal6aroatic plants2 fruits and )egeta4les! As *+5 of our
agricultural products are grown without the use of cheicals2 fertilisers and pesticides2 they
gain a copetiti)e ad)antage in the world ar3et! India0s factor endowent of relati)ely
cheap la4our should 4e used for high technology2 agricultural e#port ar3ets production
which are la4our intensi)e in nature so that our cost of production will 4e lower and we can
offer products at highly copetiti)e prices in the international ar3ets!
Aong the ites2 which could find e#port on a priority 4asis2 are the rice2 4oth 4astati and
non-4astati )arieties! Fruits and )egeta4les also ha)e a coparati)e ad)antage! -otton is
another iportant ite of the e#ports! Efforts should howe)er 4e concentrated on cotton yarn
as against raw cotton as ost of the de)eloped countries will go out of spinning acti)ity when
the Multi Fi4re Agreeent coes into force! E#port of non-traditional products li3e shrip2
fish and fish preparation2 fruits2 processed arine products2 ushroos etc! can therefore 4e
planned for a larger share in the world e#ports!
E#port prootion
Although the e#port of agricultural coodities fro our country constitute %+5 of the total
e#port earnings2 a proper identification and nurturing of the copetiti)e strength in the area is
a4solutely essential! Agricultural production should also 4e ore product de)elopent
oriented wherein )arieties ha)ing a good ar3et a4road should 4e prooted and in case such
)arieties are not 4eing culti)ated2 introduction of new )arieties should also 4e underta3en! An
intensi)e ar3et prootion prograe is also warranted for the populari7ation of our
indigenous )arieties a4road!
