Abstract
From a food grain importing country in the 1950’s, India turned itself to a net exporter of food grains to the world. The presence of India’s agricultural sector, particularly in exports is modest in size in the international market. After the new economic reforms in 1991, there is a shift in the policy from import substitution to export promotion. India has a competitive advantage in several commodities for agricultural exports due to cheap labor, self sufficiency in inputs and diverse climatic conditions. For certain commodities like rice and several dairy products, India have a niche market.
