Indian Agricultural Trade Performance under WTO Regime

Abstract

The present paper is an attempt to evaluate the trade performance of Indian agriculture in the regime of WTO. The trade analysis of the ten commodities under this study shows that India has been benefitted to a great extent by establishment of WTO. Trade performance of the commodities has been remarkable and it has been very favorable for India that it has accessed new markets for its non-traditional products. It is growing with initial volume and value which is considerable for a new commodity under export. India has great potential for increasing its agricultural exports. But this requires large investment in processing, power, communication, marketing, transport and other infrastructure facilities so that India’s agricultural export can better compete in the world market.
