    Export Procedures

    Procedures have to be followed by (a) person-in-charge of conveyance and (b) the exporter. The

    procedures

    are similar to procedures for import, of course, in reverse direction.

    NO STOPPAGE OF EXPORT CONSIGNMENT - Exports are vital for our economy. Any stoppage in

    export

    consignment means loss of export orders to the exporter and loss of foreign exchange to the country. Henceit

    has been provided that movement of export consignment will not be interrupted and no export consignment

    shall be withheld for any reason whatsoever. In case of any doubt, customs authorities may ask for an

    undertaking that the export is on sole responsibility of the exporter. [Highlights of EXIM policy 1997-2002

    as

    amended on 13.4.1998].

    Procedures by person in charge of conveyance Any new airline, shipping line, steamer agent should be

    registered in Customs Systems for electronic processing of shipping bills etc.

    The person in charge of conveyance has to follow prescribed procedures.

    is

    granted. (section 39 of Customs Act). Steamer Agents can file application for entry outwards 14 days in

    Opportunities And Challenges in the Indian Dairy Industry

    Dairy industry is of crucial importance to India. The country is the worlds largest milk producer, accounting for more

    than 13% of worlds total milk production. It is the worlds largest consumer of dairyproducts, consuming almost 100% of its

    own milkproduction. Dairy products are a major source ofcheap and nutritious food to millions of people in India and the only

    acceptable source of animal protein for large vegetarian segment of Indian population, particularly among the landless,

    small and marginal farmers and women. Dairying has been considered as one of the activities aimed at alleviating the poverty

    and unemployment especially in the rural areas in the rain-fed and drought-prone regions. In India, about three-fourth of the

    population live in rural areas and about 38% of them are poor. In 1986-87, about 73% of rural households own livestock

    Small and marginal farmers account for three-quarters of these households owning livestock, raising 56% of thebovine

    and 66% of the sheep population. According to the National Sample Survey of 1993-94, livestocksector produces regular employmen

    to about 9.8million persons in principal status and 8.6 million in subsidiary status, which constitute about 5% of the total work force

    The progress in this sector will result in a more balanced development of the rural

    economy.

    Policy

    The total amount of milk produced has more than tripled from 23 million tonnes back in 1973 to 74.70 million tonnes 26 years later

    in 1998. Thetremendous rise in milk production is primarily the fallout of the dairy farming policy reflected in Operation Floo

    Following the success of dairy farming policy, the Government has set up a dairy processing policy, reflected in the Milk and Milk

    Products Order. In addition, the Government uses a variety of import restrictions to protect itsdomestic dairy market.Milk

    Processin The milk processing industry is small compared to the huge amount of milk produced every year. Only10% of

    all the milk is delivered to some 400 dairyplants. A specific Indian phenomenon is theunorganised sector of milkmen,

    vendors who collectthe milk from local producers and sell the milk inboth, urban and non-urban areas, which handles

    around 65-70% of the national milk production.In the organised dairy industry, the cooperative milkprocessors have a

    60% market share. Thecooperative dairies process 90% of the collected milkas liquid milk whereas the private dairies

    processand sell only 20% of the milk collected as liquid milkand 80% for other dairy products with a focus on value

    products,

    Domestic Consumption

    The huge volume of milk produced in India is consumed almost entirely by the Indian population itself, in a 50- 50

    division between urban and non- urban areas. Increasingly, important consumers of the dairy industry are fast-food

    chains and food and non-food industries using dairy ingredients in a wide range of products.

    Trade

    In spite of having largest milk production, India is a very minor player in the world market. India was primarily an import

    dependent country till early seventies. Most of the demand-supply gaps of liquid milk requirements for urban consumers

    were met by importing anhydrous milk fat / butter and dry milk powders. But with the onset of Operation Flood

    Programme, the scenario dramatically changed and

    Key Areas of Concern in the Dairy Industry

    (i) Competitiveness, cost of production, productivity of animals etc.

    The demand for quality dairy products is rising and production is also increasing in many developing countries. The countries

    which are expected to benefit most from any increase in world demand for dairyproducts are those which have low cost of

    production.Therefore, in order to increase the competitivenessof Indian dairy industry, efforts should be made toreduc

    cost of production. Increasing productivity ofanimals, better health care and breeding facilities andmanagement of dair

    animals can reduce the cost ofmilk production. The Government and dairy industrycan play a vital role in this direction

  • 8/6/2019 Kyg 2_royal Wings 1

    20/24

    (ii) Production, processing and marketinginfrastructure

    If India has to emerge as an exporting country, it isimperative that we should develop properproduction, processing and

    marketing infrastructure,which is capable of meeting international qualityrequirements. A comprehensive strategy for

    producing quality and safe dairy products should beformulated with suitable legal backup.

    (iii) Focus on buffalo milk based specialityDairy industry in India is also unique with regard toavailability of large

    proportion of buffalo milk. Thus,India can focus on buffalo milk based specialityproducts, like Mozzarella cheese,

    tailored to meetthe needs of the target consumers.

    (iv) Import of value-added products and export oflower value productsWith the trade liberalisation, despite the attempt

    ofIndian companies to develop their product range, itcould well be that in the future, more value-addedproducts will b

    imported and lower value productswill be exported. The industry has to preparethemselves to meet the challenges.

    Export Logistics

    India is being touted as the land of opportunity for logistics service providers all over the world.

    The Indian logistics market represents $ 50billion and is growing at a rate of 7 percent annually.

    Export Regulations

    SELECTION OF A PRODUCTIf you want to enter export trade, the first thing you have to do is to decide about theproduct, which you intend to trade. You should have intimate knowledge about the

    product and sources of supply. If you have varied sources of supply, you will have no

    problem in procurement and shipment. But if you produce the product yourself at effective

    cost and exercise quality control, then you can become a successful exporter within

    shortest possible time. You can also analyse which products are exported to whichcountry. This information is available in the IAC of EPB.

    OPENING OF AN OFFICE

    After selection of product, you may open an office, give it a name, print letterheads, install

    phone and fix a signboard on your business premises.

    REGISTRATION FOR EXPORT

    Previously it was mandatory to register your firm as an exporter for-five years from the

    nearest office of the EPB against payment of nominal fee.

    However registration procedures for both imports and exports have been abolished and now

    registration is

    not required for either export or import.

    SELECTION OF MARKET

    The exporter cannot go to every country in the world to persuade people to buy his

    product.Even the largest international firms do not trade with the whole world and not everycountry can or will buy what a particular exporter may sell to them. In view of scarce

    resources and shortage of experienced marketing personnel, the exporters should be

    selective and concentrate on markets, which could yield the best results. For this one has

    to examine

    i. The economic position of the country

    ii. Size of the Market and whether it is expanding or shrinking

    iii. Market growth in a given product.

    iv. Unit price of the product. Whether it is more or less than other countries

    v. Import regime in the importing country.

    vi. Location of the market etc

    QUOTING A PRICEIt is easy to quote price at home. For this one has just to calculate cost of production with

    packing and transportation charges and add profit. But in case of export, quoting of price

    means many things. For this one has to examine several things including the following: -

    i. What price to charge to remain competitive abroad?

    23/24

  • 8/6/2019 Kyg 2_royal Wings 1

    24/24
