Explanation:
As pronounced a paradox as any: India produces about 11% of the world’s vegetables and 15% of all fruits, but its share in global exports amount to a meagre 1.7% in vegetables and 0.5% in fruits.
Reason: International transportation costs are outrageously high (20-30 times higher than those faced by other countries) and storage/distribution services are inefficient. A new World Bank report says that because of infrastructural and other constraints, a domestic exporter is mostly unable to service destinations beyond 14,000 Kms from the country’s borders.
Consider this: It costs $790 to transport 1 metric tonne of grapes from India to Netherlands - about three times higher than what it takes to transport the same from Chile - which is twice as far from the Netherlands as compared to India.
Creating an integrated and competitive supply chains for agriculture and improving storage, distribution and transportation network ought to be taken as the two broad priorities of reform, said Aaditya Mattoo, the report’s co-author at a roundtable on Tuesday.
