    Economic analysis of export of major spices from India before and after liberalization of trade
    (CCSHAU, 2014) Ashok Kumar; Kadian, R.S.
    The present study was carried out with the objectives i) to analyze the growth pattern in area, production and productivity of the major spices, ii) to examine the direction of trade of major spices from India and iii) to study the export competitiveness of the major spices traded during the study period (1980-81 to 2010-11) taken into consideration. India occupies a prominent position in the world spice trade. Hence, the study focuses on analysis of export performance of major spices, direction of export trade and export competitiveness in the export of chilli, pepper, turmeric and cardamom from India. Growth rates, Markov chain analysis and nominal protection coefficients were used to analyze the data. Export of Indian spices during pre-liberalization (1980-81 to 1996-97) and post-liberalization (1997-98 to 2010-11) periods indicated positive compound growth rates in both export quantity and value during both periods except for pepper during post-liberalization period(1997-98 to 2010-11 and cardamom during pre-liberalization period(1980-81 to 1996-97) which showed decreased and negative growth rate both in export quantity and value terms. Other countries and Bangladesh were the most loyal markets for Indian chilli during pre- liberalization period and Malaysia emerged as the loyal market during post-liberalization period. The United States of America and the United Kingdom were the most stable markets for Indian pepper in pre-liberalization period and the United States of America continued to be the loyal importers of Indian pepper during post-liberalization period after other countries. Other countries and Bangladesh continued to be the loyal importers of Indian turmeric during pre-liberalization period and other countries and Bangladesh were the loyal importers of Indian turmeric during post-liberalization period. Japan was the most loyal market for Indian cardamom during pre-liberalization period which was replaced by Saudi Arabia as the most loyal importer during post-liberalization period. The major spices enjoyed robust export competitiveness during the study period (1980-81 to 2010-11). Since the export of spices are highly competitive, formation of federation of spice growers and exporters can be thought of which will facilitate better promotion of production, processing, marketing and export of quality spices from India.
