7. India’s Export Competitive Products
Share of competitive products share increasing
accounted for 76.2% of export value in 2006 as against 69.3% in 2003
Concentration of competitive products in the following products:
meat (02), Fish (03), Edible Fruits & nuts (08), Tea & Pepper (09), Cereals (10), Oil seeds (12), Food residues (23) & Tobacco (24)
Competitive products share low or non existent : cut flowers, edible vegetables, sugar, dairy, preparation of cereals
These trends imply that India is able to maintain export competitiveness in primary and semi processed products

8. Sustaining Export Markets
Traditional markets are declining or stagnant . (Fish, Cereals Coffee, Tea and Black pepper).
Export markets expanding for products diversified into value added exports. (Fish, Coffee, Black Pepper, Oil Seeds and Processed Food).
In traditional markets, India is loosing market share to competing suppliers.
China (Fish, Ground Nut, Liquour, Vegetable)
Vietnam (Vegetables, Cashew Nut, Pepper)
Sri Lanka (Tea)
EU and USA (Tobacco Products)

NT1 & NT 2 account for 99% of imports of Edible Vegetables and Fruits.
Tariff reduction nominal for Coffee, Tea & Spices; Oilseeds.
Tariff reduction for products which do not threaten food security or Livelihood (Edible veg, Edible fruits, Beverages & spirits, Sugar & Confectionery)

24. Conclusions
1. Most rising imports placed under EL. Thus, duty concessions have no significant impact
2. Imports of Tea, Coffee, Spices are rising from World and ASEAN because of Advance License scheme. Will continue to rise in post-FTA period
3. For Natural Rubber, the duty structure does not deviate from the existing trends
4. With respect to Edible Oils, there is a need to take comprehensive view of imports under other FTA’s particularly ISLFTA
5. Export potential opportunities exist but would require developing export competitiveness
