Analysis on area, production, productivity and export competitiveness of basmati rice in India

The nature of data used for study is entirely based on secondary source of data form 1988-89 to 2017-18. It is divided in to two Periods, Period - I (1988-89 to 2002-03), Period - II (2003-04 to 2017-18) and overall Period (1988-89 to 2017-18).The percent CGR of total national export in the Period - I was 19 percent and in Period - II area was 15.09 percent. The percent CGR of total agricultural export in the Period - I was 16.97 percent and in Period - II area was 16.46 percent. The percent CGR of Total Basmati Export in the Period - I was 16.96 percent and in Period - II area was 22.63 percent. The CGR of area of basmati rice in the Period - I was 5.76 percent and in Period - II area was 7.67 percent. The percent CGR of Production of basmati rice in the Period - I was 6.04 percent and in Period - II area was 9.01 percent. The percent CGR of Productivity of basmati rice in the Period - I was 0.25 percent and in Period - II area was 1.24 percent. The CGR of export quantity of basmati rice in the Period - I was 8.72 percent and in Period - II area was 13.64 percent. The percent CGR export value of basmati rice in the Period - I was 16.96 percent and in Period - II area was 22.63 percent. The percent CGR of unit export value of basmati rice in the Period - I was 7.58 percent and in Period - II area was 7.91 percent. NPC value for Overall period is 0.67 which states that market is moderately competitive for export competitiveness of Basmati Rice. When the analysis was done using two different periods i.e. Period - I and Period - II average value of NPC ratio was 0.849 and 0.491, respectively which indicates Period - I was moderately competitive and Period - II was less competitive.
