KEY POINTS
· According to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, agri-food exports from India increased 28 per cent in FY21 to around $30 billion, making up approximately 10 per cent of total exports.
· The country ranks second globally in agricultural production, at $367 billion, yet India’s share in global agri-produce exports is negligible.
· Over 95 per cent of India’s farm produce is consumed domestically. Therefore, exports haven’t been an avenue explored by many farmers.
· Currently, only a few Indian farmers have the scale and financial capacity to fulfil export compliances and connect with the GVCs.
· Millets are one of the oldest foods known to humans and possibly the first among cereal grains to be cultivated for domestic purposes
· India’s GI-tagged Alphonso mango, Indian gooseberry, tribal millets, and other niche products are already reaching new markets through the Indian immigrant community.
· The front-end support to put Indian produce on the map and assure assuring the importers from other markets about quality standards and predictable, timely supply is urgently required.
· In short, India definitely has the potential to feed the world and become one of the top food exporters by 2030. We should not let this opportunity go to waste by acting now and turning our vast potential into reality.
