Federation of Indian Exports Organisations (FIEO) President Sharad Kumar Saraf has said the country's exports may reach USD 290 billion by the end of this fiscal (FY21) as the outbound shipments were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic during the first half of the year. He also said that 2021 would bring a ray of hope and optimism for the exporting community.
He said ‘we are confident that a V- shaped recovery will be witnessed in world trade and we will recover much more from what we lost in 2020. Since the first and second quarter have been pretty bad, we may end the financial year 2020-21 with exports of around USD 290 billion’.
However, he added that looking into the good order booking position for food including processed food, pharma, medical and diagnostic products, technical textiles, chemical, plastics, electronics and networking products, ‘we should endeavor to take exports to USD 350 billion in 2021-22’. Besides, he suggested that the government should focus on sectors where major imports are happening and boost traditional sectors, which are important for exports as well as employment.
