India plans to overhaul its six-year-old Agricultural Export Policy as export destinations shift and the farm export basket diversifies. The review aims to improve competitiveness, meet global standards and promote value-added products, with India ranked the eighth-largest agricultural exporter in 2023.
Farm exports fell from $51.12 billion in FY23 to $48.77 billion in FY24.
A policy rewrite may change how India routes and prices its farm exports, but no timeline has been set, so near-term price effects are limited.
