Agriculture exports have grown by 19.92% during 2021-22 to touch $50.21 billion. This is the highest level ever achieved for agriculture exports.<\/span><\/p>\n

This export growth has been achieved mostly because of a surge in shipments of rice, wheat, marine products, sugar, buffalo meat and raw cotton. <\/span>For instance, <\/span><\/p>\n

-Wheat has recorded an unprecedented growth of more than 273%. <\/span><\/p>\n

-In Rice, India has captured nearly 50% of the world rice market.<\/span><\/p>\n

-The export of marine products is also the highest ever benefiting farmers in the coastal states.<\/span><\/p>\n

-Spices exports have also touched USD 4 billion for the second year in a row.<\/span><\/p>\n

-Moreover, despite facing tremendous supply-side issues, coffee exports have crossed USD 1 billion for the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the reasons behind increasing Agriculture exports?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The surge in Agri exports has been achieved because of sustained efforts<\/strong> of the Department of Commerce and its various export promotion agencies like APEDA, MPEDA and various commodity boards.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example,<\/b> Farmer Connect Portal has been set up to provide a platform for farmers, FPOs\/FPCs<\/a>, and cooperatives to interact with exporters. This approach has resulted in agriculture exports taking place from hitherto unexplored areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Exports have also taken place from clusters <\/b>like Varanasi (fresh vegetables, mangoes), Anantapur (banana), Nagpur (orange), Lucknow (mango), Theni (banana), Solapur (pomegranate), Krishna & Chittoor (mango).<\/span><\/p>\n

Initiatives like the \u2018Happy Banana\u2019 train<\/b>, an exclusive train with reefer containers to transport bananas from Anantapur to JNPT, Mumbai have also been taken to boost exports from unconventional areas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
