• 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 and Commodities

• 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 single largest agricultural product imported into the country and accounts for around two-thirds of the total agricultural imports.

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.

Cont.

• Policy and  Management in Agriculture “State of the Indian Farmer-A Millennium Study” – Objective: Besides  policy and management,

a study on State of Indian Farmers is being organised to inquire into the conditions of Indian Farmers at the commencement of the Third Millennium.

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.
