In this episode of the Perspective Prog. based on ‘Agri Exports: Riding High’. We’re going to talk about India’s Agri Exports, which crossed a record 50 billion dollars for the year 2021-22. As per the provisional figures released by DGCI&S, the agricultural exports grew by 19.92% during 2021-22 to touch 50.21 billion dollars. Notwithstanding the various logistical challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), which works under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, scripted a new history by exporting agricultural and processed food products to the tune of 25.6 billion dollars, which is 51% of India’s total agriculture exports of 50 billion dollars. The growth rate is remarkable as it is over and above the growth of 17.66 per cent at 41.87 billion dollars achieved in 2020-21. So what have been the factors behind the agri export growth..How beneficial will it be in enhancing farmers’ incomes.. And what more needs to be done to make India a food export powerhouse.
