THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SHRI C. R. CHAUDHARY)

- (a) As per World Trade Organization (WTO) International Trade Statistics, 2017 (based on trade in 2016),  India  is  the  10 th largest  exporter  of  agricultural  products  in  the  world  with  a  share  of 2.1%. Shares of the other leading agricultural exporting countries, from 6 th to 9 th position, are in the same range as that of India i.e. 2.1 % - 2.4%. Hence, India's share in the world agriculture trade  cannot  be  termed  as  low  as  India  also  has  a  large  domestic  consumption  base  for agricultural products.
- (b) Commodity-wise details of India's exports and imports of agricultural products are at AnnexureI and Annexure-II respectively. Country-wise details of India's exports and imports of agricultural products are at Annexure-III .
- (c) Yes,  Madam.  Promotion  of  exports  of  agricultural  commodities  is  a  continuous  process.  The Department  of  Commerce  has  several  schemes  to  promote  exports,  including  exports  of agricultural  products,  viz.  Trade  Infrastructure  for  Export  Scheme  (TIES),  Market  Access Initiatives  (MAI)  Scheme,  Merchandise  Exports  from  India  Scheme  (MEIS)  etc.  In  addition, assistance to the exporters of agricultural products is also available under the Export Promotion

Schemes  of  Agricultural  &  Processed  Food  Products  Export  Development  Authority  (APEDA), Marine  Products  Export  Development  Authority  (MPEDA),  Tobacco  Board,  Tea  Board,  Coffee Board  Rubber  Board  and  Spices  Board.  These  organisations  also  seek  to  promote  exports through participation in international fairs & exhibitions, taking initiatives to gain market access for different products in different markets, dissemination of market intelligence, taking steps to ensure quality of exported products etc.
