The book is a comprehensive analysis of India agri-export landscape, offering a nuanced understanding of the sector current performance, emerging trends, trade challenges, and future prospects. In a time when global markets are shifting rapidly and food systems are becoming more interconnected, this book serves as a timely resource for policymakers, researchers, agribusiness professionals, and students of agricultural economics and trade.

The book delves into the export performance of key agricultural commodities such as fresh grapes and castor, while also providing a regional focus with a detailed case study on Bihar agri-export potential. It explores how institutional interventionsespecially those from APEDA and various government bodiesare driving export growth through infrastructure, policy reforms, and market facilitation.

Particular emphasis is placed on the hidden hurdles in international trade, such as Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), which often go unnoticed but significantly affect market access for Indian producers.

Blending policy analysis with commodity-level insights and global trade perspectives, this book not only examines where India stands today in the agri-export arena but also outlines the strategic steps necessary to achieve sustained growth.
