doubledigit increases in dairy products and pulses, although there was muted growth in wheat and non-Basmati rice shipped out of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Overall agri and processed food exports rose to Rs 1.28 lakh crore in financial year 2019 from Rs 1.20 lakh crore in the 2017-18 fiscal, according to data from the Agricultural and Processed Food Products\u00a0<a class=\"semibold blue\" href=\"https:\/\/m.economictimes.com\/topic\/Export\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Export<\/a>\u00a0Development Authority (APEDA), the nodal agency for promotion of food exports.<\/p>\n<p>Dairy products saw a 72% increase to Rs 3,376 crore from Rs 1,955 crore, while pulses went up a little over 22% to Rs 1,795 crore from Rs 1,470 crore. \u201cThe growth in pulses exports was due to back-to-back bumper crop-\u2026but this year, there will be a drop in pulses exports as there is considerable dip in production due to droughtlike conditions in Maharashtra and Gujarat,\u201d said

grew, there was a steep decline in the export value of non-Basmati rice and wheat. Export of Basmati rice rose to Rs 32,806 crore from Rs 26,871 crore in 2017-18, but that of the non-Basmati varieties slipped to Rs 20,903 crore from Rs 23,437 crore.<a id=\"rbtn\" class=\"btn\"><\/a>Wheat exports dropped to Rs 369 crore from Rs 624 crore. A glut in global wheat production made prices of Indian wheat uncompetitive. \u201cWheat from Russia and Brazil was traded more in global platforms due to their low cost. Indian surwheat took a beating as it is more remunerative to sell in local markets,\u201d said an APEDA official.<\/p>\n<p>The sector is, however, eyeing overall growth in farm exports following the introduction of a new agriculture export policy in December. The policy recommends diversification of the exports basket, and seeks to boost high-value and value-added agricultural exports, including perishables.<\/p><\/div>\n<div>The share of high-value and valueadded products is less than 15%, compared to 25% in the US and 49% in China. The focus is now on exporting processed food products, which can fetch high value in global markets,\u201d the agriculture department official said.<\/p>\n<p>India is also looking at promoting exports of organic products, which grew 39% in 2017-18. State governments should align their organic production programme with products that have export potential, an official said.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOP NEWS Foreign Trade Agri, processed food exports up 7% in FY19 \u200b\u200bOverall agri and processed food exports rose to Rs 1.28 lakh crore in financial year 2019 from Rs 1.20 lakh crore in the 2017-18 fiscal.
