EXPORTER’S COMMENTS

A number of exporters have appreciated the study undertaken by NAFED and its

reports in four volumes. The exporters have commented that this study will boost the

efforts of exporters; the reports will serve as a ready reference and in overall will be of

great help. The detailed comments of some exporters are reproduced below:-

1. Comments of M/s Haytrans (India) Private Limited, New Delhi

The report of NAFED on “Market Intelligence study of some selected crops having

export potential” provides detailed information not only on opportunities for exports

of fruits, vegetables, some spices, sesame, soyameal and cotton but also on

newer markets for some of the farm products, tariff duties and non-tariff protocols

of importing countries.

This type of information is not easily available and is a very good effort on the part

of NAFED and thus will boost the efforts of exporters.

2. Comments of M/s Mehal International, Dehradoon

We have examined with great interest the reports of NAFED with respect to

“Market Intelligence Study of some selected crops having export potential.” The

report has covered important fruits crops, vegetables, spices and some

commercial crops.

We compliment NAFED for coming out with very valuable information on export

opportunities. NAFED has also identified markets for exporting Indian farm

produce among GCC, EU, ASEAN, South Korea, Japan, China, Australia, USA

and CIS countries which is going to be of immense help to the exporters.

3. Comments of M/s Arrow International, New Delhi

The reports on “Market Intelligence study of some selected crops having export

potential” by NAFED in four volumes have been found to be informative as these

reports contain entire information required by exporters.

These reports are unique in a way because these reports provide information on

potential markets, other competing countries for Indian farm produce, prices

realized by other countries, market trends, etc.

We are of the opinion that these reports will be very helpful in exports and will serve

as a ready reckoner.
