India should reduce the exports of primary commodities to China: ASSOCHAM

30 May 2012 Evaluate

India should reduce the exports of primary commodities to China and instead look at exporting manufactured items to the neighboring nation, urged the industry body ASSOCHAM. It is of the opinion that exports of primary commodities like ores and minerals are the basic wealth of a country and exports of these natural resources erodes the country’s wealth and leaves very little to value add on its own.

It has further observed that China is the largest importer of primary products of the country and these forms 45% of India’s total exports to the neighboring nation. Even though there is a slackening in global demand, imports of these commodities will not reduce as China, in such situation, would like to build reserves of these critical raw materials.

As a counter strategy ASSOCHAM had suggested that India should look at increasing export of manufactured products to the country. These can include products like engineering, chemicals and petroleum. This will not only prevent erosion of our natural resources but will also bridge the widening trade gap between India and China. The industry has also recommended that the export duty on iron ore be raised.

Out of India’s total exports to China in FY 12, engineering goods accounted for about 22% while Petroleum products comprised about 13-14%. Trade deficit between the two countries was $33 billion during April-January 2011-12.
