Introduction
Exports play a major role in boosting the growth of an economy and hence it is important for a nation to strengthen exports and increase its share of exports in the global trade. To this end, the government has set up a target of $1 trillion in 2027-28 for merchandise exports and $650 billion for both goods and services for the year 2022-23 with $400 billion from merchandise alone. However, for expanding India’s export potential and utilizing the local capabilities to fulfil the global demand there is a need for diversification of India’s export basket as well as identification of new products that can be exported and also identifying relevant markets for such items. In fact, the Prime Minister has urged the “stakeholders to accelerate existing exports and also work to create markets, new destinations for new products”.
In consonance with the government’s emphasis on enhanced market access across the world and diversification of export markets, the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), autonomous institution under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, Government of India, in partnership with the Trade Promotion Council of India, has developed a series of programmes on promotion of exports specific to different states. The primary objective of the programmes is to build knowledge on the key aspects of export/import management, knowhow on international business; market and buyer identification, especially after the changes in the global supply chain in the post-COVID world; changing domestic regulatory framework and its impact on exports.
