India’s combined exports of agriculture, marine products, food and beverage has the potential to reach $100 billion over the next four years, said the Economic Survey. India’s agri exports stood at $51.1 billion in FY25.
India is the world’s second-largest agricultural producer by value, but according to the WTO’s World Trade Statistics, the country’s share in global agricultural exports has increased only modestly from 1.1 per cent in 2000 to 2.2 per cent in 2024. This disparity between production value and export performance highlights the significant untapped potential for expanding trade in agricultural product.
“By maintaining a delicate balance between fulfilling domestic demand and harnessing its export potential, India’s remarkable achievements in agricultural production can translate into export-led growth, enabling the country to achieve its goal of $100 billion in agricultural exports,” the Survey said. Exports also make farmers more productive and competitive by fostering knowledge accumulation and market feedback, it said.
