Why doubling agriculture exports may remain elusive?

摘要

The Commerce Ministry is working on a new agricultural export policy. The policy will contribute to doubling of farmers' incomes, it is said. While details will be unveiled in course of time, data of the last four years are far from flattering.Since 2014-15, India's agricultural goods exports have remained trapped in the $35-40 billion range while the share of agriculture to total exports too has been almost rigid, at 12.5-13 per cent, suggesting no significant improvement in export, possiblyin the absence of a strategic approach.
