Interregional Trade between GCC and SAARC
Bilateral trade between GCC and SAARC has a long history yet remains brisk.
Current situation: GCC as the leading oil-based energy exporter and SAARC (particularly India) as a large importer. GCC: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Unites
Arab Emirates
SAARC: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka

Trade in Food and Agriculture
The inherent climatic conditions of the GCC countries restrain the agricultural production in the region leading to the reliance on food and agricultural imports.
In contrast most South Asian countries have large agricultural sectors. 70% of the population live in rural areas Employs about 60% of the labor force Contributes about 22% of the regional GDP

Food Security Concerns
SAARC: Substantial importance for the domestic agriculture/ Poverty alleviation strategy
GCC: Stabilized food supply. The gap between the agricultural production of GCC countries
and the consumption has gone up substantially in recent years.
The GCC nations are shifting their agricultural policies away from the nationalistic goal of food self-sufficiency towards more flexible and broad based efforts including the reliance on imports to ensure food security

Purpose
To assess the export potential of food and agricultural items from South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

Specific Objectives
The changing pattern of import sources of food and agricultural items of the GCC countries
The changing pattern of export destinations of food and agricultural items of the SAARC countries
The determinants of food and agricultural trade between the two regions
The existing trade potential across various country pairs in the two regions

Methods of Analysis
Patterns of trade: Market share and concentration ratios
Determinants of food and agricultural trade: Gravity model
Trade potential: Indicative Trade Potential (ITP)

Key Results
GCC countries depend on few suppliers for their major food and agricultural imports
SAARC countries have a substantial concentration over top three product groups exported to GCC.
India and Pakistan are the first and second top exporters of rice to GCC
India is among the top three exporters of meat of bovine animals and sugar products to GCC.

Results of the estimation of gravity model
Conventional trade cost variables have significant effects on total and food and agricultural trade.
There is a tendency for more trade between SAARC-GCC countries.
