Efforts initiated to increase agricultural exports from the country: Production must be increased

- India ranks eighth globally among agricultural exporting countries: Extensive export of various spices and Tejana

- Only if the production of agricultural products in the country increases, we can increase the export of such products

The trends in the agriculture sector in the country have been seen to turn rapidly. Before this, we used to import various agricultural products, but now agricultural products are also being exported in large quantities from the country. Many of India's agricultural products have been recognized worldwide for their superior quality. The government is also making various efforts to increase the export of agricultural products from the country. In the wake of the war between Russia and Ukraine, global demand and global supply equations for various agricultural commodities have changed significantly. Due to the Russia-Ukraine War, India's demand for wheat, rice and sugar increased significantly in the world market last year. There was also a special discussion about the global food crisis in the meeting of the G-20 countries. As the import of agricultural products has increased in the country, the export has also increased. However, market insiders said that the export has not increased as much as the import of such goods has increased.

Every time the finance minister of the country presents the budget, it is seen that various announcements and targets are presented regarding increasing the export of agricultural products and increasing domestic production, but in fact, such targets are seen to be exceeded. According to the experts of the agricultural world, only if the production of agricultural products in the country increases, we can increase the export of such products. Although the area under cultivation of various agricultural products has increased in the country, but in fact our progress in production per hectare of such cultivation has been very slow. Agricultural experts said that India's productivity is significantly lower than the global average per hectare. According to the market informants, it is necessary to modernize the farming system at various levels to increase the production of agricultural products per hectare in the country. Apart from this, it is also necessary to increase the number of agricultural experts, scientists, experts etc. in the country. Such numbers will increase and the farmers of the country will easily reach such knowledge and consult them and if this happens, the experts are showing that there will be a significant increase in the production per hectare of such agricultural products in the country. These sources said that every 1000 farmers in the country need one such knowledge. How much seed to use per hectare and how much and how to use fertilizers and pesticides vs. Even the basic basic details are not known by most of the farmers in the country and it is necessary to give proper and comprehensive understanding to these farmers in this direction. Compared to the production per hectare of various agricultural products in the world, such production per hectare has been recorded as less than 30 to 60 percent on an average. Experts are showing the calculation that if there is an increase in such products in the country, we will be able to export widely with the increase in production.

Experts said that if agricultural production in India increases, we are capable of reaching the seventh position in the world among agricultural exporting countries globally. Agricultural products produced in India are of superior quality and such products from India can fetch premium prices in the world market. In the world export market, India's agricultural exports have reached approximately $50 billion in 2021-22. In view of the ranking of agricultural exporters in various countries, we were at number 12 four years ago and have recently come to number eight and this seems promising and now a target has been set to reach number seven and restrictions on export of wheat and rice will also be lifted in the new year. The informants are showing the possibility of being removed. Various spices and tijana are extensively exported from India and such exports can be further increased. India used to export agricultural products to 100 countries, now the number has increased to 200 countries. Exports of organic agricultural products from the country have increased to one billion dollars annually. Many opportunities have now emerged for India to increase exports of natural and vegan agricultural products globally.
