The target set by the Government of India is a good one – doubling agri-exports by 2022 – matching well with the other target of doubling farmers' income by 2022. Statistics indicate that not only India but the developing countries also increased their share in manufacturing exports during the 1990s but saw little expansion in agricultural exports, barely maintaining their share of around 36 per cent after losing market shares during the 1980s. All of their gains in agriculture during the 1990s came from the expansion of their exports to other developing countries. The share of India's agri-exports in the global trade in agri-commodities till now hovered around 2.27% in 2017! More than 48 per cent of world agricultural trade is still accounted for by trade between industrial countries — about the same share as in 1980-81.
