INTRODUCTION
Agriculture, including crop and animal husbandry, fisheries, forestry and agro processing constitutes the very basis of socio economic lives of India. It is one of the world’s largest agrarian economies, as the agriculture sector contributed about 18% of the country’s GDP (during 2006-07), 10.7% of the total export in 2006-07 and also provides employment to around 58% of the total work force. Agriculture also plays a critical role as it is essential to meet not only the food and nutritional security to the people and provide livelihood and income in the rural areas, but also to meet the requirement of raw material / inputs for the agro based industries in the domestic front.
The total geographic area of the country is 328.7 m ha. extended over a large range of vertical and horizontal coordinates makes it to witness a wide variability in climatic conditions and varied range of soil characteristics. The diversified climatic and soil characteristics have helped the country in producing various types of fruits and vegetables, spices and other agricultural crops based on their suitability to the specific environment. This also gives the country opportunities to produce a wide range of varieties of a particular crop with specific characteristics and taste. India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables. Maximum production of ginger, turmeric and sesame takes place in India. India is also second largest producer of cotton in the world. However, India is still lagging behind in the productivity of many crops compared to the global scenario. A lot of effort is required for increasing the productivity, developing allied activities and building appropriate infrastructure in rural areas to be self-reliant in food and agricultural products as well as to generate surplus to facilitate more returns through export.
Government is giving lot of emphasis on agriculture sector for increasing the production and productivity of agriculture commodities for achieving an impressive growth in the agriculture front in the GDP. A number of new initiatives like Technology Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture in the North Eastern States (TMNE), National Horticulture Mission (NHM), National Food Security Mission (NFSM), Macro management in Agriculture (MMA), Rashtriya Krishi Vikash Yojana (RKVY), National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF), National Project on Management of Soil Health and Fertility (NPMSHF) etc. indicate the intensive approach in this direction. The success of these programmes will definitely lead to significant rise in agriculture production at the end of XI plan. The surplus production after meeting the domestic requirement will help to promote export and will have a great impact on Indian economy.
In a World Bank report submitted to the Agriculture Ministry, it has been highlighted that despite leading producer of fruits & vegetables in the world, India’s export is poor due to high delivery costs, fragmented supply chain and poor logistics with poor quality standards. India’s share in global export of vegetables remained at 1.7% and that of fruits at 0.5%. The inability to compete abroad presently may lead to the inability to compete at home in future as the

multinational companies will be dominating the domestic market availing quality products at competitive prices from other countries.
Country is also lacking in appropriate technology & infrastructure in many aspects of modern storage and shipping methods, post harvest handling, value addition etc. The situation is further restricted due to complicated export regulations and procedures. An exporter faces enormous difficulties to equip himself on various parameters of export like regulatory, quality standards, global export opportunities, tariffs on exports, production scenario & availability, present export trend etc. for developing gainful strategic approach in a competitive mode.
In view of above, Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture (Trade Division), sanctioned a project to NAFED entitled “Market Intelligence study of selected crops having export potential” at a total cost of 82.0 lakhs. The crops for the present study have been identified on the basis of trade volumes and importance of the commodity in relation to production. The selected crops are mango, grapes, pomegranates, litchi, pineapple, banana and aonla among fruits; tomato, green chillies, okra and onion among vegetables; ginger and turmeric among spices; and sesame, soyameal and cotton among commercial crops/products.
At present, India's export volumes of fruits and vegetables in general and other selected crops are 74, 69,086 tons (2006-07). The value of these exports in US dollar terms comes to 2.85 billion compared to 113.94 billion US dollars of world exports. This constitutes only 2.5% of world export value, whereas India's production is 10.9% of total world production for these specific crops.
The emphasis in this study has been given on the compilation of information on quality standards, permissible residue limits for various pesticides and fungicides in crops being studied, information on packing requirements, present exports trends, competing countries, opportunities existing for exports, present strengths, availability of infrastructure etc. This information at one place will help in promoting export in the countries / markets of GCC, EU, ASEAN, Australia, etc.
The ultimate objective is to establish a National database which can pool information from promotional agencies associated with export and import activities in selected countries/ markets for the access of different user agencies. A URL namely marketagri.com has been created which is providing relevant information to the producer and exporter so as to design the production programme in an appropriate manner.

Looking into the large set of information/content generated and to place it in a presentable form for the easy access of the user agencies, the report of the study “Market Intelligence study of selected crops having export potential” has been split in to four volumes namely Vol. I- Main report; Vol. II- Domestic Market Research; Vol. III – International Market Research- Opportunities, Analysis, etc. and Vol. IV – International Market Research – Trade Scenario and Specifications. The details of information presented in Volume IV are given below:
For undertaking export of any product/commodity, the exporter has to apprise himself about world trends in trade, tariff duties of importing countries and a number of other export related issues like consumer preferences, legislative and non-legislative requirements of importing countries. These requirements are quite exhaustive and include quality standards, maximum residue levels, hygiene of food, etc., among legislative requirements and good agricultural practices (GAP), traceability, social and environmental aspects among non-legislative requirements.
The information on above mentioned aspects pertaining to importing countries is not easily available and thus international consultants were engaged in studying the foreign markets. The data and information thus collected and additional information downloaded from concerned websites, has been compiled in volume IV of International Market Research – Trade Scenario and Specifications. The information thus generated has been further split into five sections for easy access of user agencies. The details of different sections of volume IV are given below:
Volume IV A – Covering World Trade Scenario of fruits, vegetables, ginger, turmeric, sesame
seeds, soyameal and cotton.
Volume IV B – Containing information on tariff duties in importing countries comprising CIS
countries, GCC, ASEAN, Australia, South Korea, China, Japan and USA.
Volume IV C (i) – Non tariff protocols of EU, ASEAN and Australia.
Volume IV C (ii) - Non tariff protocols of USA for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Volume IV C (iii) - Non tariff protocols of USA for miscellaneous and processed products.

4. SESAME SEEDS
Global imports of sesame seeds topped over the one billion dollar mark in 2006, reaching USD
1,001,163,000 equating to 1.4 million tons. The market has shown strong demand in recent years
with 22% annual average growth over the last five years, influenced strongly by massive demand
in China where imports have consistently grown by some 150% per annum. China’s imports
currently represent one fifth of the world imports. China has in fact shifted from being a net
exporter to a major importer. Currently China remains the 5th largest exporter. India is by far the
largest exporter, having almost a quarter market share of the world market, followed by Ethiopia,
Sudan and Nigeria. Whilst India is keeping up with world growth trends Ethiopia is gaining
market share with growth rates double the global rate.
