Abstract

This paper serves two main purposes: first, to conduct a systematic analysis of the literature on India's agricultural trade and second, to explore the trends and central themes in existing studies, providing a roadmap for future researchers. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) of studies from 2000 to 2024, it examines four themes: trends and performance, comparative advantage, trade diversification and the link between agricultural exports and economic growth. The study shows that despite substantial growth in India's agricultural exports, challenges persist in the underperformance of traditional exports along with increased competition from other Asian countries. The study highlights the need for diversification into high-value goods to enhance competitiveness and shows a positive link between agricultural exports and economic growth. This research contributes to existing literature by offering a comprehensive analysis of empirical evidence on India's agricultural trade, providing valuable insights, and presenting a unified picture of the subject field.
