Abstract

The present study analyzes the competitiveness of Indian agriculture in the WTO regime. The efficiency indicators at exportable hypothesis indicate that in the emerging liberalized farm trade order, India's export competitiveness is much better in commercial crops. The results of present study reflect that, at the margin, resources are more efficiently utilized in the cultivation of gram and rapeseed/mustard than in the cultivation of wheat at current levels of technologies and prices, and India has vast export potential provided that Agreement on Agriculture (AOA) remove developed countries trade barriers and withdraw domestic support to their agriculture. To generate adequate exportable surplus, India must maintain and enhance its production efficiency. The technology upgradation and infrastructure development are key domestic measures for enhancing competitiveness of Indian agriculture.
