In the wake of COVID-19, Indian Oilseeds and Produce Export Promotion Council (IOPEPC) Chairman Khushwant Jain has said that the impact of the pandemic on the country's agriculture exports such as oil seeds and rice is much lower and the sector is recording healthy growth rate. 

The Chairman also noted that in June, 11 agriculture products, including coffee, rice, tobacco, spices, oil meals, oil seeds, fruits and vegetables, cereal preparations and other processed items, have shown positive growth out of 14 key agriculture export products.

While comparing export trends, he said the average growth in exports of the 14 key agricultural products is 18 per cent against the backdrop of 12.4 per cent decline in overall merchandise exports in June. Jain added that increasing agriculture exports will play a crucial role in doubling the income of farmers.
