Export Potential Of Indian Agriculture

In this book, a modest attempt is made to ponder over the issue of export potential of Indian agriculture with special reference to Bihar. Recently, there has been an increased interest and heightened debate on the globalisation of Indian agriculture, but till today its crucial implications have been little discussed in the case of Bihar. This volume fills this gap. The twenty-six papers in this volume written by a group of distinguished scholars critically examine the pros and cons of export potential of Bihar agriculture giving major emphasis on case to case study of important agricultural crops. Grouped into three sections, these papers deal with theoretical prescription in the emerging liberalisation context, identification of potential crops and the constraints and prospects of possibilities of their exports from Bihar. These also address an issue of vital content and pose the question as to what should be the attitude in future in case of Bihar which lags far behind the impressive performance of agricultural development. Is it paradoxical to talk of export potential of Bihar agriculture in its syndrome of non-development? This volume will serve a sound basis for drawing solutions. This major publication will be of considerable interest to those interested in the problematic situation of backwardness of Bihar agriculture. In particular, it will be extremely useful for scholars of Economics and Agricultural Economics who desire further to put their research in the most crucial emerging issues of globalisation of Indian agriculture.
