Current Status of Indian Agricultural Exports

India’s agricultural exports remain a cornerstone of its economy, contributing significantly to foreign exchange earnings. Despite global challenges such as geopolitical tensions and inflation, India’s agri-sector continues to show resilience and growth.

In FY 2024-25, agri-exports from India are projected to cross USD 50 billion, with top markets including the UAE, USA, Saudi Arabia, and Bangladesh. Major contributors include cereals, processed foods, and organic produce.

The Indian government has launched initiatives like the Agriculture Export Policy (AEP), aiming to double farmers' income by promoting exports. Dedicated export clusters, logistics hubs, and quality testing centers have been established to meet international demand efficiently.

Challenges still exist, including high freight costs, stringent quality requirements, and changing global consumer preferences. Exporters must adapt to these by investing in certification, technology, and sustainability.

Digitalization is also playing a key role in transforming the sector. From digital documentation to e-marketplaces, exporters are embracing new tools to reduce costs and time.

With the right market intelligence and proactive strategies, Indian agricultural exporters can capitalize on the growing demand for food security and sustainable produce.
