Boosting farm exports (Business Line) 

January 28, 2022


Business Line (India) published an op-ed by Senior Research Fellow Anjani Kumar, Abhishek Jha, and Arabinda K. Padhee. The authors write that trade agreements bolster trade flows, but policymakers have traditionally restricted trade in agriculture. The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) liberalized agricultural trade, and import tariffs plummeted, but technical know-how is still concentrated among developed nations, and agriculture still a topic of negotiation at the WTO. India has prioritized the negotiation of free trade agreements. As WTO is based on the principles of non-discrimination, free trade, and promotion of fair competition among the member countries, and the AoA having been conceived as a part of the continuing process of negotiations, India should debate and position its strengths to achieve substantial progress on its huge potential of agricultural exports.
