Select agri-based commodities present export opportunity worth $97 billion for India: FAO

27 Dec 2019 Evaluate

Food & Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in its latest data has stated that select agri and agri-based commodities such as meat, milk and fruits, among others, present export opportunity worth over $97 billion (about Rs 6.9 lakh crore) for India. According to the data, India’s export share in agri items such as bananas, oranges, chicken, meat, and milk products like cheese and butter milk is miniscule at present.

Data also indicated that the country’s share in the global market for 19 commodities was a miniscule 1.5 percent, or around $1.5 billion (about Rs 10,650 crore), in 2017 against a potential of $97 billion. While global market for meat and chicken is a whopping $20.6 billion, the country’s export share is only 4.04 percent of this. Similarly, global market for bananas is close to $15 billion wherein India’s share is a paltry $480 million. Butter and cow milk provide a $8 billion opportunity, while India does not get a single penny from their exports.

As per to the data, the country earns $275 million annually from export of grapes, while the global market is worth $8.6 billion. Significantly, food waste is an $11 billion market, but India earns nothing from its export. It can be noted that nearly a third of Indian farm produce is wasted due to lack storage/proper transport facilities. The global onion export market is over $3 billion, but India earns just $420 million from exports.
