Prospects of Export from India
'Export and Prosper' has now become a slogan for the rapid and self-reliant
growth.
Exports are the engine of growth for the development of the nation. Export
marketing helps the stabilization of the prices of agricultural and industrial
products. Human resources are made more productive. Precision and
perfection are the qualitative improvements. Thus there arises the need to
understand the scope of export marketing, significance, problems and
prospects, strategy to be followed promotional measures and suggestions.
Since 1980, the global scenario has changed. Change is inevitable. Closed
economy has given way to the market economy. No more one can think of a
contended life. Everyone needs everything. Controls will result only in
frustration and revolution. The outcome of the above is the New Economic
Policy Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization.
People are not ready to accept whatever is offered. The attitude of the
people gets changed very often. The market has to enlarge to reduce the cost
of production in terms of fixed cost per unit, through lower inventory cost, and
by bringing down raw material cost and other variable cost. The growth of
computerization has brought about on line trade. The market for any product
is wide open and globalization has become the order of the day with new
challenges
The exports from the country have not only gone up but also witnessed an
increasing diversification in recent years. The largest share of India's exports
goes to OPEC countries. Next in the rank are the countries of European
common Market. The major items of India's exports are jute manufactures,
iron ore, raw cotton, cotton manufactures, coffee, spices, leather and leather
manufactures, handicrafts, tobacco etc.
First five major exporter of the world
For the first time in decades, trade barriers appear to be increasing around the
world.
Now, there is now even rhetoric coming from D.C. about adding tariffs to $200
billion of goods coming from China, and NAFTA renegotiations have long been
on President Trump’s agenda.
The G7 meeting in Canada also gave recent indications on the state of the
existing trade atmosphere. For the first time in recent memory, the meeting of
Western leaders was tense, resulting in name-calling and accusations, giving
the impression that the worst could be yet to come.
Each country is re-sized based on the latest export data from the World Trade
Organization for 2017 and countries with fewer than $20 billion in exports are
excluded altogether.
China leads the way with $2.26 trillion in exports per year, but the country also
has a sizable population of nearly 1.4 billion.
The United States is the world’s second largest exporter in terms of absolute
value. However, if you compare it on a per capita basis to a nation like
Germany, it’s clear that the U.S. relies less on exports overall. The country
exported $1.55 trillion in goods in 2017, about $4,800 per person.
India’s position as an exporter in the world

which will help exporters to recover the input costs which are involved in the
production of handicrafts, which will also lead in competitive pricing and also
boost exports.

Observation and Suggestions
• The Handicrafts Sector plays a significant & prominent role in the country’s
economy. It provides employment to a vast segment of craft persons in rural,
and semi urban areas. It generates substantial foreign exchange for the
country while preserving its cultural heritage.
• Handicrafts have great potential, as it holds the key to sustaining not only the
existing set of millions of artisans spread over length, and breadth of the
country, but also for the increasingly large number of new entrants in the
crafts activity.
• From transforming the traditional Indian arts, and crafts to the customized
version of an overseas art form. Unlike in the past when the industry was
battling to carve a niche in the market, there is a great demand Indian
handicraft today that is because of being nurtured by different government,
and nongovernmental organizations.
• Lack of proper marketing channels and poor access to urban markets has
been a problem which needed to be addressed by the government, and the
responsible persons for the wellbeing of this sector which have not seen yet.
Conclusion
Handicraft sector is one of the sectors which can contribute to the success of
Make in India mission. India is one of the important suppliers of handicrafts to
the world market and has shown its importance since years. Handicrafts do not
mean to rely only on the handwork, innovation, and technology can also be
collaborated with the mind frame of the artisans for further enhancement in
this sector. However, there are some setbacks which needed to be addressed
by the Government, Local bodies, and NGO’s more than that it is the
motivation and inspiration for new entries which needed to be taken seriously.
Finally, we can say that this sector has potential to grow, and there are people
willing to be the part of this sector, all they need is the help from the
government, which can effectively contribute to the establishment of business,
and make this sector work as other organized sectors are working.
