(Punjab Agricultural University, 2013) Garg, Nishant; Babita Kumar
The present study was conducted on awareness and attitude towards incentive schemes for exporters of agricultural products. The study was undertaken in five districts of Punjab namely Amritsar, Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Ludhiana and Sangrur. The sample of 50 exporters was interviewed with the help of detailed questionnaire. The results of the study show that there are only 27(54%) exporters which were aware of incentive schemes. From them only 17(63%) were availing the schemes. The reasons for not availing the schemes had been the approval formalities of government agencies, documentations and non-willingness of exporters to avail the schemes Those who were availing the schemes were having objectives of increasing their competiveness, profit maximization, financial assistance and brand publicity and advertisement. However, the exporters find many problems in availing the schemes like procedural problems, official regulations and policies and inefficiencies of incentive providing agencies. These problems can be solved by formulating approachable incentive policies so that the exporters can easily avail them and it should be user friendly.
