    (Central University of Punjab, 2018) Sabeel Mohammed.K; Patil, Chidanand
    The study has observed the growth in area, production and productivity of rice and problems and prospects of rice export from India during the period 1987-88 to 2016-17. Compound Annual Growth Rate, Instability index and Coefficient of Variation, were applied to estimate the Trend, and instability in Rice Export and growth in Area, Production and Productivity of Rice. The time series data were made available before estimating the determinants of Indian Rice Export. The study has examined that Rice contributed substantially to the national income during the study period. The Production of Rice grew at the rate of 2.465 percent per annum during the study period of 1949-50 to 2015-16, while productivity of rice in India achieved a growth rate of 1.81 percent per annum. The country has exported 3985195.60 MT of Basmati Rice to the world for the worth of Rs. 2151290.92 Lakhs. The export earning of non-basmati rice was Rs. 1692987.72 Lakhs by registering an increase in the earning of 79012 per cent over the year 1987-88. . A total quantity of rice 10755999 Metric Tonnes were exported to different countries from India and export earnings from the export of total rice (Basmati and Non-Basmati) were Rs.3844278 Lakhs during 2016-17. The data regarding the problems or constraints faced by Exporters were collected by doing personal interview with the Rice Exporters. All exporters are facing stiff competition from local competitors. The exporters are highly affected by infrastructural and Exchange rate related problems. All exporters are very much satisfied with the services offered by APEDA and various other Export promoting agencies. In order to sustain in the international market, Indian exporters needs improvement in quality and sanitary standards besides the competitive price.
