Abstract:
The present study aimed to examine the direction of trade and competitiveness of wheat export from India. The study depends on secondary data which was collected from APEDA website for the year 2011-12 to 2022-23. The Markov chain investigation was used for direction of trade and Nominal Protection coefficient (NPC) was employed for estimating aggressiveness of wheat export from India. The results showed that Nepal was the most stable market of Indian wheat as it could retain its share of 93.49% followed by Bangladesh, UAE and Oman with 70.07, 43.69 and 40.46% retention were found to be major destinations for Indian wheat exports. The most unsteady markets among the wheat importing countries from India were Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Malaysia with the zero% retention. The investigation of export aggressiveness revealed that the Indian wheat has a moderate degree of aggressiveness as Nominal Protection Coefficients value for all the major importing countries from India were ranged between 0.5 and 1.0.
