Abstract

Agriculture, around the globe, is one of the most vital sectors of all the economic boroughs. Providing employment to approximately 60% of Indian population and 10% of urban ones on one hand while having a share in GDP of 15% makes this sector most important of all. Agrarian distress coupled with rising fragmentation of land and low growth rate requires multifaceted schemes and policies. Multi pronged strategy for agricultural development comprises of not just increasing its growth rate but also enhancing its share in international trade. This paper basically assesses the growth, changing patterns of agricultural produce and hence its effects on Indian competitiveness in international markets. Due to far reaching effects of agricultural exports viz, foreign exchange earnings and rise in farm incomes etc, this study tries to evaluate rise in agricultural exports over time. Study shows that competitive advantage of Indian agricultural goods has been rising in case of many crops while the composition too has been changing. Moreover, this paper also shows the major causes of concerns for exports in coming times.
