Indian Agricultural products
and Commodities
• Since Independence, India has made a lot of
progress in agriculture in terms of growth in output,
yields and area under crops.
• Green Revolution (food grains),
• White Revolution (milk),
• Yellow Revolution (oilseeds)
• Blue Revolution (aquaculture).
 Indian Agricultural products
and Commodities
• Today, India is one of the largest producers of milk,
fruits, cashew nuts, coconuts and tea in the world.
• It is also well known for the production of wheat,
vegetables, sugar, fish, tobacco and rice.
• Certain types of agriculture such as horticulture,
organic farming, floriculture, genetic engineering,
packaging and food processing have the potential to
see a surge in revenues through exports.
• Past few years, the government has stressed on the
development of horticulture and floriculture by creating
vital infrastructure for cold storage, refrigerated
transportation, packaging, processing and quality
control.
 Indian Agricultural products

• Agricultural Exports:
– The Government's special efforts to encourage export
of food grains in recent years through grant of World
Trade Organization or WTO compatible subsidies has
lead to India becoming one of the leading exporters of
food grains in the international market.
• Agricultural Imports:
– The share of agri-imports to total merchandise
imports in 2005-06 was 4.59 percent. Edible oil is the

• India is one of the largest producer, consumer
and exporter of spices.
• India is reported to grow over 50 spices in
different parts of the country.
• The Spices Board, under the umbrella of Ministry
of Commerce and Industry, Government of India
is the apex body for promoting exports of Indian
spices.
• Its broad-based activities include formulation and
implementation of quality improvement systems,
research and development programmes,
imparting of education and training to farmers,
processors, packers and exporters on post
harvest handling, etc.
 Indian Spices
• Indian spices include a variety of spice and
herbs grown across the Indian subcontinent
(south asia). With different climates in different
parts of the country, India produces a variety of
spices, many of which are native to the
Subcontinent, while others were imported from
similar climates and have since been cultivated
locally for centuries.

by the National Institute for Interdisciplinary
Science and Technology (NIIST) promises to
provide a cost effective and hassle free means
of white pepper production.
(iii) Global Certification to Boost Export of
Organic Spices from North East : Organic spices
from India are likely to get a big boost with 300
hectares of land in the North East receiving
organic certification from global certifying agency
“INDOCERT”. The Spices Board expects to export
organic spices worth Rs 240-260 crore by 2012.
 Other development
• New Norms for Chilly Exports

whatsoever form shall be allowed for exports
unless it carries a certificate issued by the
Spices Board to the effect that the consignment
does not contain aflatoxin beyond acceptable
levels.
ITC-HS CODES FOR
AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTS
 General Introduction
• There are millions of trade transactions occurring
each year. These transactions are classified under
approximately 8,000 different products. Every item
that is exported is assigned a unique 10-digit
identification code.
• For example, concentrated frozen apple juice is
assigned a 10-digit identifier. This number is an
aggregate of a series of codes starting with a
broad category assigned a 2-digit identifier
described as Preparations of Vegetables, Fruit,
Nuts etc. It is then assigned a 4-digit identifier
described as fruit juices and vegetable juices, etc.
The 6-digit identifier is described as apple juice.
 Governing Body of ITC (HS) Code:

• Any changes or formulation or addition of

new codes in ITC-HS Codes are carried out
by DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign
Trade).
• Commodity description, weeding out of
defunct codes, addition of new codes,
change of product description etc., are
taken up periodically as a part of the
ongoing process towards perfection.

 Agricultural Price Policy

• The main objectives of the Government's

price policy for agricultural produce, aims
at ensuring remunerative prices to the
growers for their produce with a view to
encourage higher investment and
production.
• Towards the end, minimum support prices
for major agricultural products are
announced each year which are fixed after
taking into account, the recommendations
of the Commission for Agricultural Costs
and Prices (CACP).
• The CACP while recommending prices takes in

to account all-important factors, viz.

• Cost of Production

• Changes in Input Prices

• Input/Output Price Parity

• Trends in Market Prices

• Inter-crop Price Parity
• Demand and Supply Situation
• Effect on Industrial Cost Structure
• Effect on General Price Level
• Effect on Cost of Living
• International Market Price Situation
• Parity between Prices Paid and Prices Received by
farmers (Terms of Trade).
• Of all the factors, cost of production is the
most tangible factor and it takes into account
all operational and fixed demands.
Government organizes Price Support
Scheme(PSS) of the commodities, through
various public and cooperative agencies such
as FCI, CCI,NAFED, Tobacco Board, etc., for
which the MSPs are fixed.
• For commodities not covered under PSS,
Government also arranges for market
intervention on specific request from the
States for specific quantity at a mutually
agreed price. The losses, if any, are borne
by the Centre and State on 50:50 basis.
 The present scenario
• Agricultural imports - Rs 21025.54 crore in 2005-06.
The share of agricultural imports to the country’s total
imports has remained steady around 3.33 per cent.
• The import of vegetable oils fixed (edible), pulses,
cashew nuts, cotton (raw and waste) and wood
products dominate our agricultural imports.
• Agricultural exports - Rs 49802.92 crore in 2005-06.
• The export of marine products, oil meals, rice, wheat,
tea, coffee, cashew and sugar dominate our
agricultural exports.
• Generally, there has been a surplus in agricultural
trade over the years. The trade surplus was Rs
28777.38 crore in 2005-06.
• Edible oil accounting for nearly 60 to 70 per cent of the
value of total agri-imports.
 India : Flood of food imports
• India's commitment World Trade
Organisation under its Agreement on
Agriculture (AoA) to improve market access
for foreign foods (and phasing out import
restrictions maintained on BOP grounds.)
• India maintained QRs(quantitative
restrictions) on about 2,700 items.
•  1/3rd of items under QRs are agricultural
items on which import restrictions were
imposed to safeguard the interests of India's
large agricultural community.
 Subsidies..
Country Subsidy/year
US US$25.5 billion 
EU US$85 billion
India -ve $23.7 billion

• Flood of highly subsidized imports.

• Developed countries bending rules for their favor.
• India imposes tariffs (bound rate) for agri products which
provide a fair level of protection .
• The Government has raised the import tariff for many agri
products such as tea, coffee, pulses and edible oils.
• Countervailing duties can also be imposed to counter
actionable subsidies given to agri products by the exporting
countries.
 The Case of Soya Bean
• Government of India actively promoted cultivation of
soyabean through the oilseeds technology mission set up by
Rajiv Gandhi.
• Soya for subsistence crops.
• Within six years, area under soya doubled to 6 million
hectares and production stood at about 6 million tonnes.
• With liberalization of edible oil market and imports, as part of
India shifting away from a QR regime to a tariffs based one,
there has been a flood of edible oil imports - a 300% increase
in the last nine months and a significant quantity of it being
soyabean.
• US, Brazil and Argentina being major exporters.
• About 70% of the 1998-99 soya crop is said to genetically
modified. And with resistance to genetically modified food in
Europe, a lot of the production is being pushed into
developing countries including India.
• Decline in soyabean sowing, low profits, shift to other crops.
 Scheme for Enhancing the
Competitiveness of Indian Agriculture
• Agriculture in India is more a livelihood matter
than a commercial venture.
• Necessary to build capacities in the system,
such that it is able to withstand the forces of
globalization and compete.
• Capacity Building to Enhance the
Competitiveness of Indian Agriculture and
Registration of Organic Products Abroad.
• Academic/relevant research, or in the form of
creation of physical assets critical of
agriculture in the international context.
 India’s Imports
• ASEAN is by far the biggest supplier of agricultural
products to India, accounting for a massive 40% of
India's imports in 2003-2005.
• Argentina and Brazil rank second and third
respectively.
• Intermediate products account for 56% of India's
agricultural imports, reflecting the importance of
vegetable oils.
• Palm oil imports, mainly from Indonesia and Malaysia,
represent 29% of the total imports value.
• India is forecast to remain a leading vegetable oils
importer. It absorbs one quarter of world soybean oil
imports and 14% of palm oil imports.

 Import of Edible Oil

• India accounts for 9.3 per cent of world oilseed production.

• It has the world's fourth largest edible oil economy.

• Yet, about 43 per cent of edible oil available in India is

imported.

• In 1999, India ranked as the world's largest importer of

edible oils, displacing China.

• The bulk of edible oil India imports under the Open General
License (OGL) is RBD palmolein of Malaysian and
Indonesian origin.
Edible Oil Consumption Trends
The Breakup
 Oil Refineries
• India has approximately 300 crude edible oil
refining units, 60-70 per cent of which are small.

• Unlike the bigger refiners, the small ones are

unable to import huge quantities of crude either
due to their low capacity or lack of financial
resources.
 Problems..
• A major problem is the low capacity utilization.
The installed capacity of oil mills is around 36
million tonnes annually, but capacity utilization is
only 40 per cent.

• Solvent extraction plants show only 33 per cent

capacity utilization and vegetable oil refineries
show 40 per cent.
 Import Duty

• The import of refined palm oil was put under OGL (open
general licence) in March 1994. Other edible oils were put
under OGL in April 1995.

• Originally, there was no discrimination between refined and

non-refined edible oil as far as import duty was concerned.

• The duty on both was 65 per cent. Duty was then slashed
to 30 per cent for both, then to 20 per cent in 1996 and 15
per cent in the 1999-2000 budget.
 Import Duty
• On December 30, 1999, a differential duty structure was
introduced. Duty on refined oil was fixed at 27.5 per cent (25 per
cent plus 10 per cent surcharge), while that on crude was retained
at 16.5 per cent (15 per cent plus 10 per cent surcharge).

• But only actual users (as opposed to traders) are allowed to avail
of this reduced duty on crude oil. Traders are allowed to import
crude at the reduced duty but only to sell to actual users on a high
seas basis.

• This requires that the actual user fills in the import documents (and
pays the reduced duty) but leaves the importing process to the
trader.
 Import Duty
• In most parts of the world, import duty on
oilseeds is lower than that on oils. But, in India, it
is higher: 40 per cent. That is why no import of
oilseeds or oil-bearing material has taken place in
India. The industry wants the duty to be lowered
from the present 40 per cent to 5 per cent.
 Current & Future Scenario
• India is now the world's top vegetable oil buyer, importing
8.7 million tonnes in 2008/09.
• India's vegetable oil imports are likely to rise nearly a tenth to 9.5
million tonnes in 2009/10 as consumption rises on the back of rapid
economic growth and is underserved by a likely drop in local oilseed
output

• Edible oils prices in the Indian market have crashed due to

large imports by multinational trading houses.

• The edible oils industry is one sector in India that will see
considerable reform in the foreseeable future.
