GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND
Trade and commerce have been the backbone of the Indian economy right from ancient times. Textiles and spices were the first products to be exported by India. The Indian trade scenario evolved gradually after the countrys independence in 1947. From the 1950s to the late 1980s, the country followed socialist policies, resulting in protectionism and heavy regulations on foreign companies conducting trade with India. Indias international trade situation improved when Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi reformed the trade policies in the late 1980s. With tax reforms, deregulations and privatization initiatives, India has attracted the global markets attention. Trade, both domestic and inter -national, is the pivotal link connecting production and consumption. Hence, traders and merchants have as important a role in an economic system as producers and consumers do. Traders and merchants are a highly heterogeneous cross section, operating at vastly diverse scales, regions and activities. Each level, right from the village kirana shop keeper to the allconquering global conglomerates, is important on its own and has specific sets of comparative advantages as well as operational difficulties. The Indian economy experienced a change in its structure, competitiveness and global identity in the last two decades, which has resulted in rich growth dividends during the post-2000 period. The economy posted an impressive average annual growth close to 9 per cent during the period 2003-04 to 2007-08. Agriculture grew at an average annual rate close to 5 per cent, industry close to 10 per cent and

services at around 10 per cent during the period, indicating that the high growth achieved was broad-based. This change was facilitated by a sharp rise in investment rate in conjunction with robust consumption. The improvement in important macro-economic coordinates has been evidenced by the facts that; inflation remained moderate; fiscal consolidation proceeded apace; and external sector remained robust during the period. Business and trade have acted as an important facilitator in the process and also been a major beneficiary of the improved outcome. The global financial meltdown and the economic recession in developed economies adversely affected the Indian economy. This resulted in a slowdown in the rate of growth of the Indian economy from 9.2 per cent in 2007-08 to 6.7 per cent in 2008-09. The slowdown of the Indian economy was of no surprise, with most of the world in deep recession. What was a surprise was the speed and vibrancy with which the Indian economy turned around. It is now widely recognized that India was not only one of the economies least affected by the global growth slowdown, but also one among the fastest to achieve a recovery from the economic slowdown. The turnaround came in the second quarter of 200910 with a growth of 8.6 per cent. According to the revised estimates, GDP at factor cost at constant prices in the year 2009-10 has grown by 7.4 per cent, as against 7.2 per cent in the Advance Estimates. The upward revision in the GDP growth rate is mainly on account of the extra-ordinary buoyancy shown by the industrial sector and the better-than-anticipated performance of the farm sector. Trade and other services picked up, precipitating the on-ongoing economic recovery. As for international trade, in April 2010-11, exports grew by 36.2 per cent compared to their level in April 2009-10. Exports witnessed a positive growth for

the sixth consecutive month since November 2009. Imports have also picked up. In April 2010-11, Indian imports were 43.3 per cent higher than their level April in 2009-10. Non-oil, non-bullion imports, which largely reflect the imports of capital goods needed for industrial activity and imports needed for exports, were higher by 36.4 per cent in April 2010, compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. This, coupled with the impressive growth in the domestic production of capital goods, and the robust growth in capital formation in the recent quarters as evident from the National Accounts, is indicative of the magnitude of capacity addition taking place in the economy. Strong and sustained investment growth is a pre-condition for sustained economic growth; so is the strength in the growth in consumption, especially of the lower economic stratum. Agriculture is the major driving force of Indian economy. It accounts for the largest chunk of employment and gross domestic product, a source of raw material for industry and a major source of foreign exchange earner at present and potentially even more in the decades ahead. Domestic agriculture can substantially contribute to the balance of overseas payments either by augmenting countries export earnings or by expanding the production of agricultural import substitutes this is termed as foreign exchange contribution of agriculture. In countries with a lagging agriculture sector and unmanageable food import bill, it would make better economic sense to expand food production. But once domestic agriculture is able to meet the basic requirements of domestic market; it may be a sound policy to exchange agricultural exp through sectoral diversification orts either of food or other agricultural products to increase the rate of development. Trade in agricultural goods can play an important role in promoting economic development especially in the less developed countries. The export of

In an export led growth model of trade it would be to the advantage of the developing countries, to specialize in production of those goods where they have comparative advantage and to exploit the surplus production to earn as in ensuring rational allocation of resources. In, India ever since the planning has been used as a tool for rapid economic growth, the development of agriculture is given due importance. The importance of agriculture is felt not only in feeding additional mouths but also to earn foreign exchange through exports. Strength and resilience are the hall mark of Indias agriculture. Scarcity situation in many commodities ae over; and new challenges are emerging from surplus. India has a strong comparative advantage because of its very diverse agroclimatic conditions ranging from arid to heavy rainfall areas. Most of the areas have well distributed rainfall, sunshine and temperature conductive to the growth of a very wide range of tropical, subtropic, and temperate al fruits, vegetables and flowers. There are long uninterrupted Himalayan hilly region suitable for temperate and nut crops like Apples, Pears, Peaches and Walnuts. It then gradually descends forming sub-mountain regions and plains. There are also vast fertile plains and savannas suitable for a wide variety of crops. the valuable foreign exchange. Such a policy will lead to the use trade as an engine of growth, as well

Further Indias geographical situation gives it the unique advantage of being at the center of most of the prosperous economies of the eastern world i.e, middle east in the west and far east in east including countries like Iran, Iraq, Japan, Singapore, Thailand Malaysia, Korea etc.This gives India the comparative edge for linking these markets as the third country export center. W ith its agricultural predominance, India occupies a special position in the developing world and should take a leading role in creating a favorable atmosphere for putting across the points of negotiation in favour of developing countries at the WTO negotiation. India exports more of horticultural crops, compare to agricultural
commodities. Horticulture crops includes fruits, vegetable, root and tuber crops, mushroom, floriculture, medical and aromatic, nuts etc. This sector has established its importance in improving land use, promoting crop diversification, generating employment and above all providing nutritional security to the people.
Global Exports
The present total global exports are well over US$ 5000 billion. The share In of agricultural commodities accounts for US$300 billions (6.00 per cent).
recent years, the share of agri-commodities has increased considerably, mainly because the developing countries have realised the importance of export to the development of their economy. There has been a great deal of interest among the countries of the world to earn foreign exchange through export of agricultural commodities. high-income elasticity.

Fruits comprise 61.00 per cent of the horticultural exports of the World and 70.00 per cent of it comes from the developing countries. There are as many as 80 different fruits and 65-70 types of vegetables traded in the world market. and India account for two-thirds of the total horticultural exports. Other countries are
Indias Export
Indian agriculture has a distinct position in the World agricultural production. It is the second largest producer of Rice, Wheat, fruits and vegetables and the largest producer of Milk. Still, in the world agricultural trade, its share is very less. The share of Indian agriculture in the world export is less than one. Export of agricultural products is an important component the countries agrarian scene. Its present position in the Indian economy is quite significant as export contribute a great deal to the development of an economy through the foreign exchange earnings. Agricultural exports comprised about 30 percent of the total exports from India during 1980-81 and the share dropped to 19 percent in 1990-91. Agricultural exports in 1995-96 constitute 19.87 percent in the total exports from India and this share has been decreased to 15.08 per cent in 1999-2000. In 2000-01 agricultural export constituted 14.10 percent in the total exports and this share has been decreased to 10.4 percent in 2006-07.And this share has been increase to 29 percent in 2009-10.

Export Policy
Majority of the agricultural exports are unrestricted except some items, which are regarded as essential and sensitive. For example, export of pulses and sugar (excluding sugar that are subjected to a tariff rate quota in the United States and the EC) were prohibited, to maintain domestic supplies of these products in order to keep the price at a reasonable level. In order to boost the agriculture exports government has set up Agri Export Zones. These zones receive assistance from Central and State Governments to improve efficiencies in supply chains of the identified products. Currently, there are over 60 Agri Export Zones sanctioned by the Central Government and monitored by Agriculture and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA).However, of the total investment of Rs.17.18 billion envisaged over 2002-10, just around 50 percent has been realized Moreover, exports from these zones during 2005-06, were around 43 percent of expected exports, in 2004, Vishesh Krishi Upaj Yojana (special vegetable products scheme) was introduced to promote exports of fruits, vegetables, flowers, minor forest produce, dairy, poultry and their value added products.
India Trade: Market Share

A significant boost to Indias trade in the late twentieth century resulted in the country getting the tag of an emerging economy. According to a report published by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in May 2007, Indias share in the global market for merchandise and services rose from 1.1% in 2004 to 1.5% in 2006. Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath expects this figure to cross 2% in 2009.

According to leading management consultancy McKinsey & Co, the growth of Indias economy can match that of China (about 10% per annum) if the former eliminates the main impediments to trade.
India Trade: Exports

Indian exports comprise mainly of engineering and textile products, precious stones, petroleum products, jewelry, sugar, steel chemicals, zinc and leather products. Most of the exported goods are exempt from export duties. Duties are levied on processed agricultural products, sheep, goat and bovine leather. India also exports services to several countries, primarily to the US. In fact, India is among the worlds largest exporters of services related to information and communication technology (ICT). It is also the key destination for business process outsourcing (BPO). According to the Information Economy Report 20072008, the ICT industry accounted for 5.4% of Indias GDP in 2006, up from 4.8% in 2005. Backed by ICT-related exports, the services sector accounted for 37% of the countrys total exports in 2006, up from 18% in 1995.
Foreign Trade Policy ( Exim-Policy )

Foreign Trade has gained immense importance in India in the recent years. The export import (exim) policy of India has laid guidelines for India to become a major player in world trade, an all encompassing; comprehensive view needs to be taken for the overall development of the countrys foreign trade. The new exim policy states that reasonableness and consistency among trade and other economic policies is important for maximizing the contribution of such policies to development. The foreign trade policy implies in its preamble that while incorporating the existing practice of enunciating an annual exim policy, it is

necessary to go much beyond and take an integrated approach to the developmental requirements of Indias foreign trade. Majority of the agricultural exports are unrestricted except some items, which are regarded as essential and sensitive. For example, export of pulses and sugar (excluding sugar that are subjected to a tariff rate quota in the United States and the EC) were prohibited, to maintain domestic supplies of these products in order to keep the price at a reasonable level.

Ensure that you can manufacture or procure from other sources the selected product(s) at the competitive prices and in sufficient quantity and will be able to meet the quality specifications, delivery schedule and other terms and conditions of the overseas buyer. Get the full information of similar products of other manufacturers if already available in selected markets, their prices, marketing techniques, terms of business etc. To offer your product(s) to foreign buyers with a bargaining edge in order to capture the market. Assess the degree of competition of product (s) which you propose to export in a particular market.
FACTORS GOVERNING THE FOREIGN TRADE INDUSTRY

The most eminent factors governing the international trade industry are: Trade blocs: These are created by multinational agreements to promote trade between two regions through mutual cooperation. Often, trade blocs are characterized by free trade agreements (FTAs) which tend to eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers. Some of the largest trade blocs are NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), EUCU (European Union Customs Union) and DRCAFTA (Dominican Republic Central America Free Trade Agreement). International trade organizations: The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the most notable private organization that regulates trade among member nations. With 153 member nations, it represents over 95% of international trade. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is another such organization influencing the trade industry through its policies.

With the opening up of new trade avenues worldwide, foreign trade is expected to greatly influence international economics and politics.
TRADE BARRIERS
Trade barriers refer to government-imposed policies to restrict international trade. Most commonly, a countrys government employs tariffs, duties, embargoes and subsidies as trade barriers. However, imposing trade barriers are against the concept of free trade, popularized by developed nations
UNDERSTANDING TRADE BARRIERS

Almost every trade barrier works as a tool to ensure a protectionism policy. Trade barriers aim to hike the prices of imported products in order to secure the domestic industry against fierce competition from foreign products. Some of the most common trade barriers are: Tariffs: Taxes levied on products that are traded across borders are called tariffs. However, governments impose tariffs essentially on imports and not on exports. Two most popular types of tariffs are: Ad valorem: This tariff involves a set percentage of the price of the imported goods. Specific: This refers to a specific amount charged by the government on import of goods. Subsidies: Subsidies work to foster export by providing financial assistance to locally-manufactured goods. Subsidies help to either sustain economic activities that face losses or reduce the net price of production. Quotas: Import quotas are the trade limits set by the government to restrict the quantity of imports during a specified period of time.
Page 11

Embargo: This is an extreme form of trade barrier. Embargoes prohibit import from a particular country as a part of the foreign policy. In the modern world, embargoes are imposed during wartimes or due to severe failure of diplomatic relations.
ECONOMIC IMPACT OF TRADE BARRIERS

In times of flourishing international trade, imposing trade barriers prevents the nation from fully realizing the economic benefits of such globalized trade. A protectionism regime causes over-allocation of resources in the protected sector and exploitation or under-allocation of resources in free trade sectors. This usually leads the country into economic disequilibrium, which hampers growth. Import restrictions affect international trade relations, which in turn leads to a decline in exports. Thus, the protectionism regime that is employed to protect certain sectors actually tends to retard the growth of the entire economy. Free trade environments offer greater and better choices in the market, leading to enhanced consumer satisfaction. With trade barriers in place, the government curbs consumer rights to enjoy competition in the market. Exports of goods from one country to another involve the participation of customs authorities of both the countries. It also includes those countries through which the goods pass through. Exporting goods and services to other countries is a key part of a countrys economic development, focusing either on raw materials, finished goods or services based on available resources. Export trade helps to create more jobs and boost a countrys economic growth.
EXPORT TRADE: DYNAMICS

Page 12
EXPORT ANALYSIS
KAPPEC LTD.
A firm exporting goods and services to other countries requires an exports license from the countrys licensing authority. In the US, Exports Administration Regulations (EAR) controls the export of goods. The goods or services to be exported are categorized into various sections across the countries, and the exporter needs to select the appropriate category for the item to be exported. Exports across the globe are regulated. However, each country may follow different regulations. Exports are typically restricted to countries that are suspected of supporting or participating in terrorist activities. Some products have a global exports restriction.
EXPORTS: TARIFFS AND DUTIES

Tariffs or duties are taxes levied on the goods transported across the country of origin or other political boundary. These tariffs act as a trade barrier and are used for protecting a companys economy. The different types of tariffs are: Ad valorem tariff: This tariff is a specific percentage of the value of a good being exported. Specific tariff: This is the fixed tariff that does not change with the market value of a specific good. Revenue tariff: The very purpose of this tariff is to raise money for the government that allows the business. Many countries negotiated bilateral or multi-party Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) to reduce or eliminate tariffs or duties between them, for specific sectors or in all categories. Although this may reduce the immediate income generated by the government, it will increase total economic activity in all involved countries.

Additional measures help, such as identifying and removing internal constraints like bureaucratic red tape and fiscal duties. PROCEDURE FOR BECOMING AN EXPORTER To apply for an import export code with the concerned office of the joint director general of foreign trade with all the particulars and necessary fees in this regard. To find out the particular market and select a quality product and quote the prices in u.s. dollars which is an universally accepted currency for all import export trade. The prices may be quoted as under: F.O.B: it means free on board the delivery of the cargo is given till the same is loaded on to the vessel. All future expenses like freight, insurance will be to the account of the buyer. C & F: It means cost & freight. The price includes even the freight charges till the destination. The buyer has to bear only the insurance and other delivery charges etc at the port of destination. C I F : it means cost, insurance and freight. The price includes all expenses till the port of destination. Once the price is acceptable to the buyer, he will immediately open the letter of credit or will send an advance remittance through the banking channels to the sellers account. The letter of credit should be always in the form of irrevocable and sight letter of credit. Once the lC is opened the seller has to prepare the cargo as per the quality, packing specifications mentioned in the lC and send the same to the port of
Page 14

loading so that the C&F (clearing and forwarding) agent will do the rest of forwarding the consignment to the buyer. Once the shipment is over C&F agent will prepare all the shipping documents called for in the lC. Once these original shipping documents are received, seller has to prepare his commercial invoice, packing list, bills of exchange and submit all the documents along with the original lC received from the buyer to the bank for negotiation. The banker will thoroughly scrutinize the documents strictly as per the terms and conditions of the lC and give credit to the sellers account and send the documents to buyers bankers for getting the payment. Normally the payment is received within 10-15 days time. In addition to l/C and advance remittance, the payments can be in the form of D.P (documents against payment) at sight which means exporter will ship the material and send all the original shipping documents through his bank to the buyers bank. Buyers bank will collect the money from the buyer and release the documents to him and send proceeds to Indian exporter through the banking channels. In case of perishable commodities, no buyer will open l/c, send advance remittance or even agree for D.P terms on a pre agreed price. It is all done on consignment sale basis. Exporter will ship the material and send the original documents to the buyer and the buyer in some cases may send some part payment as advance and the final account will be settled only against the sale of exported cargo. THE ROLE OF E.C.G.C. ( EXPORT CREDIT GUARANTEE CORPN OF INDIA LTD). In order to offset the exporter against unforeseen

circumstances in exports, ECGC plays an important role. ECGC covers various types of risks such as default by importer or the country, non receipt of payment due to wars, riots etc and charge a nominal premium for this based on the country classification ( eg. 0.3% to 0.8% of the value). ECGC also helps an exporter in assessing the credit worthiness of the importer and will fix the credit limit accordingly. This will help an exporter to expose his risks only to that extent.
INDIAS REFORM AS IT ADAPTS TO GLOBAL TRADE COMPETITION

The export laws of India are governed by the foreign trade policy. All exporters/importers trading from India have to adhere to the foreign exim policies in order to gain benefits on the trade front. Indias liberalizing policy, as well as significant structural and trade reform have clearly paid off, since Indian economic performances are distinctly impressive these days. Since the liberalization process began in 1991, India's real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown at an average annual rate of approximately 6% and, despite the recent increase in international petroleum prices, GDP growth for 2006/07 was 9%. Services continue to be the largest contributor to GDP (over54% in 2005/06), while the share of manufacturing has remained respectively stable, at around 16% of GDP, and agricultures share has decline to around 18.3% of GDP in 2006. These good economic results are due to important unilateral reforms aimed at opening up Indian economy and trade .

THEORITICAL LITERATURE
With a view to evaluate the objectives of the study. It was considered desirable to have idea of the findings of some of the earlier research studies and the method adopted therein. Such review of literature connected with the working and performance of Karnataka State Agriculture Produce Processing and Export Corporation Limited (KAPPEC) in Karnataka. It was hoped would provide a basis either for confirming the earlier findings for contradicting them and there by suggest points of departure for further studies. To give a view full of the export affairs of the undertaking it is necessary to include a annual report, a statement of changes in the export of the different products exported by KAPPEC LTD. An export report or exports analysis is an in-depth evaluation of a countrys export statistics so that its economic planners or policymakers can devise policy changes. These policy changes are required to speed up a countrys economic growth. Areas of concern such as anti dumping measures, tariff peaks and targeted subsidies may also be analyzed in detail Exports analysis can be performed by businesses or

countries to enhance their growth prospects. A detailed export review can help devise future-oriented export growth plans. The objective is to increase trade and profits.
Analysis of Exports Statistics

Today, most exports analyses are conducted using reflective indicators. However, researchers have begun to advocate the use of formative indicators as a basis for export performance analysis. Formative indicators refer to exploring the causal indicators, rather than the effect indicators. Countries can utilize export reports to perk up their trade policies and programs. In 2008, when Australia released a review of its export policies and programs, it outlined around 70 recommendations as part of its export promotion and trade and investment policy. A textile exports analysis of China reveals that the country continues to make its mark in the world textile market, since the removal of the quota regime in 1994. Countries frame their new policies and programs based on the results of the longterm and short-term export reports. These statistics are a result of comprehensive study of exports, which is conducted by using both objective and subjective measures. However, the fact remains that export review results may vary, depending on the export data source used. Export data may be obtained from two different sources, such as the International Monetary Fund and the UN Commodity Trade Statistics. When the facts and figures from the two sources are dissimilar, it may yield incongruent results. This difference in data source also affects export-led growth
Page 18

models. Hence, researchers agree on the point that data can be neither interchanged nor correlated. Overall, export reports benefit countries and their efforts to formulate their overall export-oriented development strategy.
Techniques used in export analysis

The data received are tabulated and analyzes for logical statement using statistical . Methods like tally, trend, mean, etc. Tally : Tally marks, or hash marks, are a unary numeral system. They are a form of numeral used for counting. They allow updating written intermediate results without erasing or discarding anything written down. However, because of the length of large numbers, tallies are not commonly used for static text. GRAPH : Graph is an abstract representation of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are connected by links. The interconnected objects are represented by mathematical abstractions called vertices, and the links that connect some pairs of vertices are called edges. Typically, a graph is depicted in diagrammatic form as a set of dots for the vertices, joined by lines or curves for the edges. Graphs are one of the objects of study indiscrete mathematics. TREND ANALYSIS : Trend analysis involves the usage of past figures for comparison. Trend percentages are calculated for some important items like sales revenue, net income etc. Under this kind of analysis, information for a number of years is taken up and one year, which is usually the first year, is taken as the base year. Each item of the base year is taken as 100 and on that base, the percentage for other years are computed. This analysis will help in finding out the percentage of increase or decrease in each item with respect to the base year.

1.3 CURRENT ISSUES

The government of India, in latest budget proposal (2011), has allocated Rs14,744 crore for agriculture and allied sectors , an increase of 2.6% over last year. The rural economy employs about 60% of Indian work force, contributing about 17% of gross domestic product, and is expected to post 5.4% growth over last year, according to advanced estimates by the annual Economic Survey. Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee said removing production and distribution bottlenecks for fruits, vegetables, milk, meat, poultry and fish the key drivers of food inflation would occupy his attention. The focus of most of his initiatives seem to be in strengthening existing programmes rather than creating new avenues of budgetary support. For instance, the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana, an initiative to help farmers bring their produce to the market, received an extra Rs. 1,000 crore, or about 16%, over last year. Mukherjee has hiked interest rate subvention a scheme in which banks provide short-term crop loans to farmers at 7% interest by one percentage point . This, he said, would also push banks to disburse Rs. 4.75 trillion, a nearly 25% jump from last year. Mukherjee also emphasized that enhancing the nutritive value of agriculture
Page 20

produce was as important as increasing farm production. While we ensure food for all, we also must promote balanced nutrition. Bajra, jowar, ragi and other millets are highly nutritious and known to possess several medicinal properties, he said in his budget speech. The minister provided Rs300 crore to encourage farmers to intensify production of these crops. Among the few new initiative again with a focus on improving the nutritive quality of food was a National Mission for Protein Supplements to be launched later this year. Its primary focus, the finance minister said, would be to promote animalbased protein production through livestock development, dairy farming, goat rearing and fisheries in selected agricultural blocks. To be sure, some analysts said the plans for agriculture were insipid and left out key issues, such as employment. It's a disappointing budget in relation to what the Economic Survey has projected in the agricultural sector, said M.S. Swaminathan, agriculture scientist and a Rajya Sabha member. There is no particular vision and no strategy to make agriculture an attractive option for youngsters
1.4.1 Prices of Vegetable Products Rising Despite Higher Production

Supply demand equation seemingly do not influence Indian markets dominated by layers of middlemen and scary government policy. Agricultural commodities , including fruits and vegetable are major victim of a slew of govt regulations on movement and pricing that has created layers of middlemen over the years.

Production of vegetables have risen considerably over last 5 years. Even after taking note of population growth - its impossible to explain huge increase in vegetable prices over last few months. During April' 2010 a kg each of brinjal, cabbage, onion, potato and tomato totally cost Rs 26.38 if you bought at the Azadpur mandi in Delhi. Today, if you buy the same, that will cost you Rs 69.36. In the Wholesale Price Index that is used as a measure of inflation, vegetables index has increased to 273 from 143.9 in April. Since April 2006, there has been a 315 per cent jump in the index. Though prices have gone up, a look at the Agriculture Ministry data show that the acreage, production and yield of key vegetables such as potato, onion, tomato, cabbage and brinjal (the top five) have actually gone up since the season starting July 2006. In fact, vegetables have seen a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.73 per cent in acreage, 3.93 per cent in production and 2.15 per cent in yield.
Among these, the CAGR of potato is 7.07 per cent, while it is 7.18 per cent for cabbage. The CAGR of potato yield is also higher than other vegetables at 5.27 per cent, while onion's is next at 3.98 per cent. Between 2006 and 2010, for which data are available, coverage of potato increased from 1.74 million hectares (mh) to 1.89 mh, while production was up from 28.59 million tonnes (mt) to a record 40.23 mt with yield rising from 16.43 tonnes a

hectare to 21.24 tonnes. Prices during the same time increased from Rs 500 a quintal in July 2006 to Rs 842 on June 30, 2010 at the Azadpur mandi. Currently, it is quoted at Rs 425. In the case of onion, the area has remained stagnant at 0.76 mt, while production and yield have increased to 13.05 mt (10.84 mt) and 14.12 tonnes a hectare (17.16). Onion prices during the current season (July 2010-June 2011) are averaging at Rs 27.66 a kg from Rs 10.25 during 2009-10. In 2006-07, it averaged Rs 6.52 to rise to Rs 7.40 the next year and to Rs 8.88 in 2008-09. Data are available only until June 2009 for other vegetables and in the case of brinjal and cabbage, prices dropped while for tomato, they have increased. Currently, prices of all these are much higher. Among all the vegetables, potato has seen the minimum surge. In fact, during May last, prices dropped sharply to below Rs 300 a quintal on increased arrivals before the West Bengal Government intervened to procure nearly one million tonnesto save farmers. Besides, prices for foodgrains have increased sharply in the last couple of years with the Centre raising the minimum support price (MSP) for most crops. For example, the MSP of wheat has been raised from Rs 850 a quintal in 2006-07 to Rs 1,100 this year. Between 2006 and 2010, the population has increased 70 million to 1.15 billion at a CAGR of 1.57 per cent, while the per capita income from 2005-06 to the last

fiscal increased Rs 7,594 to Rs 33,540, a CAGR of 5.55 per cent.
1.4.2 Exports Rise During First Half of Current Fiscal Year

Indian spice exporters have recorded an impressive 16 percent growth in export of all varieties of spices in value terms during April to Dec 2010. In volume terms the growth is marginal at 3 percent. Value of total spices exports have gone up to Rs 4,880.56 crore over Rs 4222.56 crore achieved during same period last year. The increase in the total value realisation was mainly driven by a spurt in the price of spices in the global markets. A notable achievement of the period was that spices exports topped the billiondollar mark in the first nine months of this fiscal. Mint and mint product exports as well as spice oils and oleoresins continued to contribute significantly to the spices export basket in value. The rally in unit value realisation of these two pillars of spices exports ensured that spices exports crossed the billion-dollar mark. Although mint and mint products were down by 12 per cent in volume during April-December 2010, the 29-per-cent growth in unit value realisation from Rs 614 to Rs 896 this year ensured that the total value realisation spurted up. For spice oils and oleoresins, the marginal 1-per-cent spurt in volumes was accompanied by a 17 per cent growth in unit value realisation taking the total value realisation to Rs 641.39 crore (Rs 546.76 crore). Spice oils and oleoresins as well as mint and mint products together accounted for close to 50 per cent of the total value realisation from spices exports.

KAPPEC LTD.
During April-December 2010 exports of chilly, ginger, fennel and garlic showed an increase in volume as well as value. But spices like tamarind and asafoetida could register growth only in value. Others like mustard, aniseed, ajwanseed, nutmeg and mace showed a decline in both volume and value during the period. While pepper exports stagnated in value in the global markets for several years, firm price trends were evident during the last couple of months. The unit value of pepper exports have increased from Rs 157.71 a kg last year to Rs 190.18 a kg this year. Chilly is another prominent export item in both volume and value. Chilly exports increased by 22 per cent in volume to 1.79 lakh tonnes (1.47 lakh tonnes), even as the total value realisation grew by 17 per cent to Rs 1,108.92 crore (Rs 946.49 crore). The spices board has set an export target of 4.65 lakh tonnes, valued at Rs 5,100 crore for this fiscal. The foreign exchange target is pegged at $1,125 million. By December 2010 the country achieved 84 per cent of the targeted volume, 96 per cent of the targeted value and 95 per cent of the foreign exchange target.
1.4.3 Turmeric Prices Decline - Severe Cold Pushing Down
Turmeric Demand
Severe cold in North India is keeping traders inactive, leading to fall in spot turmeric prices below Rs 16,000 a quintal. On January 10 2011, about one hundred bags of fresh Mysore variety turmeric arrived in Erode market for sale. However, it failed to fetch price beyond Rs
Page 25
EXPORT ANALYSIS
KAPPEC LTD.
14,200 a quintal, much lower than farmer's expectation. Traders are also buying limited stocks. Farmers have sold most of their stocks, expecting further decrease in price for the fresh crop that will arrive in the market in the middle of February, as the cultivated area is almost double this year. At the Erode Turmeric Merchants Association sales yard, the turmeric finger variety fetched Rs 9,299-15,939 a quintal and the root variety Rs 9,000-16,069. Out of 1073 bags that arrived in the market, 415 were sold. At the Gobichettipalayam Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Society, the finger variety sold at Rs 14,827-15,997 a quintal, the root variety Rs 14,737-15,831. Of 173 bags that arrived, 143 were sold. At the Erode Cooperative Marketing Society, the finger variety sold at Rs 15,650-16,050, the root variety Rs 15,639-16,010. Of 504 bags kept for sale, 400 were sold. At the Regulated Marketing Committee, the finger variety sold at Rs 15,489-15,949. The root variety Rs 15,293-15,809. Of 634 bags that arrived, 585 were sold.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
EXPORT ANALYSIS
An exports analysis is an in-depth evaluation of a countrys export statistics so that its economic planners or policymakers can devise policy changes. These policy changes are required to speed up a countrys economic growth. Areas of concern such as anti dumping measures, tariff peaks and targeted subsidies may also be analyzed in detail. Exports analysis can be performed by businesses or countries to enhance their growth prospects. A detailed export review can help devise future-oriented export growth plans. The objective is to increase trade and profits.
ANALYSIS OF EXPORTS STATISTICS

Today, most exports analyses are conducted using reflective indicators. However, researchers have begun to advocate the use of formative indicators as a basis for export performance analysis. Formative indicators refer to exploring the causal indicators, rather than the effect indicators.
Page 52
EXPORT ANALYSIS
KAPPEC LTD.
Countries can utilize export reports to perk up their trade policies and programs. In 2008, when Australia released a review of its export policies and programs, it outlined around 70 recommendations as part of its export promotion and trade and investment policy. A textile exports analysis of China reveals that the country continues to make its mark in the world textile market, since the removal of the quota regime in 1994. Countries frame their new policies and programs based on the results of the longterm and short-term export reports. These statistics are a result of comprehensive study of exports, which is conducted by using both objective and subjective measures. However, the fact remains that export review results may vary, depending on the export data source used. Export data may be obtained from two different sources, such as the International Monetary Fund and the UN Commodity Trade Statistics. When the facts and figures from the two sources are dissimilar, it may yield incongruent results. This difference in data source also affects export-led growth models. Hence, researchers agree on the point that data can be neither interchanged nor correlated. Overall, export reports benefit countries and their efforts to formulate their overall export-oriented development strategy. Trade report proves to be of great use in understanding the pattern and trends of trade. It also comes in handy in analyzing bilateral and multilateral trading systems and various trade policies that regulate the trading systems across the world.

Trade report provides us with all sorts of information regarding the volume of exports and imports, nature of the commodity traded, pattern of trade agreement, and the like. In-depth analysis of a yearly trade report offers a comprehensive picture of how well a nation has performed on the front of exchange of commodities and services both in domestic and international markets. If a country continues to accrue gains from trade for successive years, then the economy of that country is said to be in a stable position. On the other hand, if a trading nation incurs loss from international trade, then that economy is said to be in an unfavorable state. Trade review also provides us with an idea about the availability of resources in a particular country and technology used in the production of goods and services. It is the difference in comparative advantage that determines the terms of Reports or Reviews Used in Trade Analysis The World Trade Report is extensively used in the analysis of trade. Besides the yearly World Trade Report, there are many other country-specific trade reviews that are widely used in analyzing the pattern and trends of trade. The yearly and quarterly trade data are extremely helpful for the analysis of domestic and crossborder trade.

5.3 TURMERIC POWDER

Turmeric is a spice derived from a rhizome (a type of root) native to India and Southeast Asia. Turmeric was prized as a dye for centuries, thanks to its power to tint fabric--or food--a brilliant yellow-gold. The dried, powdered rhizome is used in curry powder, some types of pickles, and prepared mustard, and is used as a natural food coloring, in cheese, for instance. Turmeric is sometimes substituted for saffron (which is far more expensive); but aside from their color, the two spices have little in common. Turmeric's flavor has been described as peppery and somewhat bitter, so it's important to be judicious when adding this spice to foods.

5.6 SUGAR
Armed with a surplus of over 5 lakh tonnes of sugar this year, mills in Karnataka have set a target to export 5 lakh metric tonnes. The state is likely to end the present sugar year (October 2009 to Sept 2010) with a total production of 25 lakh tonnes, a growth of 31.5 per cent over last year. Unless we export the surplus production this year, we will not be able to recover a part of the losses that we will suffer. We are facing a state of glut this season and only the export of excess stock will save us from a severe situation," sources in the South Indian Sugar Mills Association said.
