Abstract
Horticulture has emerged as one of the
potential agriculture enterprises that will accelerate the growth of the Indian
Economy. The present paper analyse the growth, instability and export
performance of horticultural crops from India: An economic analysis with the
objectives to examine growth, instability and export performance of
horticultural crops from India and to identify the major destination of India
for exporting horticultural crops from India. For the analysis, secondary data
from 2010-11 to 2023-24 has been utilized, employing statistical tools such as
Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGR), Standard Deviation (SD), Coefficient of
Variation (CV) and Cuddy Della Valle’s Instability Index (CDVI). The study
revealed that during the period the export quantity of certain commodities,
such as walnuts and fresh mangoes experienced negative growth. In terms of
export value, walnuts also showed a decline during this period. The export
growth rates of fruits such as fresh grapes, other fresh fruits, fresh onions,
and other fresh vegetables are positive in terms of quantity. The quantity of
export of processed fruits & vegetables such as Processed Fruits, processed
vegetables has shown positive growth rate while cucumber and gherkins (Prepared
& Preserved) have shown a negative growth rate. In the case of processed
fruits & vegetables overall growth rate in the value term is positive and
high except for mango pulp. Walnut has shown the highest instability index
value indicating the highest instability and variability among others in both
cases quantity and value term. In term of value, Mango pulp has shown the
medium level of instability index value indicating the highest instability and
variability among others. India’s key markets for fresh fruit and vegetables
are United Arab Emirates, Iran, Netherland, and Bangladesh while processed
fruit and vegetables are mainly exported to the USA and Saudi Arabia.
