Abstract:
The main purpose of study was to analyze the “Export Performance of Onion in India”. The nature of data for study is mainly based on secondary sources. Data of Onion export were collected for the period of 1996-97 to 2018-19. For the purpose of comparison, the period of study was divided into two sub periods, first period (from 1996-97 to 2007-08) and second period (2008-09 to 2018-19). The data collected from department of commerce and industry, Government of India. The present study was undertaken to analyze growth rate and instability in export of Onion. The maximum compound growth rate in onion export to all countries was observed in period-I compared to period-II in all the parameters i.e. quantity, value in rupees and value in US dollar. All the growth rates were statistically significant. The magnitude of CGR of onion export measured in value was highest compared to quantity. This was due to higher prices of onion realized over the years. The CV and CDI of Onion export measured in quantity in period-I was 0.60 and 0.29. It was 0.67 and 0.34 in rupees and 0.65 and 0.37 in dollar respectively. The CV and CDI of Onion export measured in quantity in period-II was 0.27 and 0.23. It was 0.36 and 0.15 in rupees and 0.22 and 0.15 in dollar respectively. The CV and CDI of Onion export measured in quantity in Overall was 0.57 and 0.25. It was 0.79 and 0.24 in rupees and 0.66 and 0.23 in dollar respectively. Thus export of Onion from India in terms quantity, value in rupees and dollar were not steady during the reference period.
