The study examined the changing pattern of international trade in bananas globally and in India at a macro level from 2000 to 2020. It analyzed the growth pattern, direction of trade, trade competitiveness, and market access issues like tariff and non-tariff barriers (NTBs) faced by exporters in major markets. The analysis revealed that the export of bananas from India increased from $8.10 thousand to $212 thousand from 2000 to 2020, with an annual growth of 21 per cent. Iran, UAE, Oman, and Saudi Arabia are the major destination markets for Indian bananas, wherein India exports more than 70 per cent of its banana export. Banana exports from India possess export competitiveness as the Nominal Protection Coefficient (NPC) was less than one (ranging between 0.28 to 0.70), and the domestic prices were lower than the international prices. Oman emerged as a stable market for banana imports from India in quantity and value terms. Iran and Nepal were the most important markets for Indian bananas but Kuwait and Saudi Arabia markets were unstable markets for Indian bananas. Among the major importing countries of Banana, Japan had imposed the highest number of notifications (164 Non-tariff Measures (NTMs)) on total imports of India since 1995. The USA imposed 119 NTMs, and the EU imposed 65 notifications. Still, it had imposed more TBT measures (35). Regarding Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) measures, agricultural goods do not involve technological prowess but only consider consumer health and safety issues, which can be harmonized as it is good for trading partners. For Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) measures driven mainly by technology, India must follow the same approach carefully. Future research should concentrate on the impact of NTMs in depth by considering all the stakeholders.

Due to its peripheral location and formidable geography, the livelihood of people in Leh mostly depends on locally accessible resources, particularly livestock, tourism, horticulture, agriculture and services. The current study is an attempt to investigate the development and diversity of livelihood in the region by considering six relevant criteria for each of the five livelihood-generating resources. The data retrieved via structured questionnaires and interviews were analyzed by employing the widely used Livelihood Development Index and sophisticated Simpson's Livelihood diversity index across constituent spatial units or blocks. The Principal Component Analysis reported tourism as the most significant potential predictor influencing the growth of livelihood across the region. This was subsequently followed by contributions from services, livestock, agriculture and horticulture. Of the selected criteria, income from tourism per month, income from transportation of tourists, income from commercial shops per month, income from services per month, income from milk and milk products per month, income from the sale of sheep and goats per year, income by selling of apricot and vegetables (only sale) per month were reported as the most significant criteria determi livelihood development in the region. Moreover, 18 criteria out of 30 showed significant values for Simpson’s livelihood diversity index reflecting the impact of these criteria on livelihood development across the study area. The aggregate value of the index was highest for livestock (S.D.I = 0.894) that was followed by agriculture (S.D.I = 0.881), services (S.D.I = 0.876), horticulture (S.D.I = 0.871) and tourism (S.D.I = 0.851). Based on the results, the study would like to insist on more diversified opportunities and reduced vulnerability of livelihood to the people especially residing in the southern blocks of the study area.
... The majority of the world's population consumes a vegetarian diet, and vegetables are a necessary part of every vegetarian meal (Kumar 2017).

Vegetable farming plays an important role in the country's agricultural economy. Between the actual harvested yield and the potential yield of vegetable crops in Haryana state, there is a notable discrepancy. As a result, potential has yet to be fully realized. Numerous other industries, like processing, seeds industry, fertilizer, pesticides and farm machinery industry are supported by vegetables. The present study was carried out to analyze the trend in area, production and productivity of overall vegetables in Haryana and India. Area, production and productivity of overall vegetables shows a significant increase and positive trend from 1990–91 to 2020–21 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.00, 8.13 and 1.06% in Haryana and 3.18, 4.65 and 1.43% in India. Potato, onion, tomato, radish, carrot, cauliflower and bottle gourd are the major vegetables grown, amongst which highest production, viz. 0.81 and 54.75 million tonnes was recorded under potato during 2020–21 in Haryana and India, respectively.
... Many of these have medicinal importance too. The National Horticulture Development Board has provided statistics showing that, after China, India is the second-largest producer, accounting for 13% of the world's production of fruits and 21% of that of vegetables (Jha et al. 2019). Therefore, GI is an important step to safeguard and maximise the market potential of reputable origin-linked products. ...
Geographical Indication (GI) is an intellectual property (IP) tool that aids in establishing a link between the product, its place of origin and maintaining multi -functionality between rural areas and market place along with conservation of traditional knowledge. The GI act prevents third party intervention and market exploitation of the natural resources and their by-products. Strict enforcement of laws and increase in awareness among producers is needed so that the producers confer the real benefit rather than it being garnered by other intermediaries. In this paper, we intend to document the registered GIs (excluding advertised GIs) from horticulture in India till May, 2021 with emphasis on their year and characteristics.
Furthermore, it also focuses on the botanical details of the GI product including its botanical name, family, number of cotyledons, and parts used.
... In India, noni was produced by 342 cultivators in an area of 653 acres. The highest production of noni fruits was in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (192 acres), followed by Maharashtra (166 acres), and Tamil Nadu was the lowest producer of noni fruits (5 acres) with one cultivator [2]. According to traditional treatment and recent research reported, the noni plant has a broad range of therapeutic effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antitumor, anthelmintic, analgesic, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing effects [3]. ...
Background: Noni, also known as Morinda citrifolia L., is a perennial herb with Southeast Asian origins that has been used medicinally for over 2000 years. Noni drew the interest of researchers from the pharmaceutical and food industries due to its adaptability and utilization of the plant's structures for various food applications. The essential industrial products of this plant are beverages, leaf powders, oil from seeds, and powders from dried fruits. Objective: This study aimed to incorporate noni fruit powder with different concentrations to extend the cookie’s shelf life and nutritional properties. Methods: In the formulation of the cookies, noni fruit powder was fortified with four different concentrations (5% - NFPFC5, 10% -NFPFC10, 15% - NFPFC15, and 20% - NFPFC20) with wheat flour. The physical properties, antioxidant activity, and sensory characteristics of cookies fortified with noni fruit powder were studied. Results: There was no significant change in the physical properties of fortified cookies with noni fruit powder. The antioxidant properties were enhanced with the higher concentrations of fruit noni powder fortified with cookies. Sensory panelists preferred cookies with 5% noni (NFPFC5) concerning organoleptic characteristics. Conclusion: The present study is to understand the herb's value by recommending the nutritional qualities and sensory evaluation of noni fruit powder cookies. Future studies on the use of noni fruit powder in different food industries with its applications in terms of safety and quality are necessary.Keywords: Noni powder, antioxidant, Morinda citrifolia, sensory acceptance, cookies.

... For that reason, the methods of export potential assessment (competitiveness) help countries evaluate their export prospects and raise their market share, and stability analysis might enable us to measure changes in market shares over time, both within and across markets (Sunil and Singh 2021) [36] . Several studies have examined the competitiveness and trade direction shifting of Indian agricultural commodities (Bhattacharya, P. 2019; Jha et al., 2019; Narayan and Bhattacharya, 2019; Yogesh and Srivastava, 2020; Ayu Sitanini, 2022) [9,18,28,39,6] , but none of them have specifically examined the Indian onion using recent data after the government implemented new agricultural export policies in terms of competitiveness and trade surpluses. In light of this context, we have attempted to study the current and projected export performance of Indian onions with their competitive advantage in international markets, along with comparing against other major exporters of onions and Indian onion export stability and performance. ...
Agriculture supports the country's ability to hold a dominant position in the world's trade market,
particularly in the trade of onions. In India, exports are only allowed if domestic criteria have been
satisfied; fluctuations in domestic conditions are the reason for export changes. This study examines the
export competitiveness of Indian onions, analyzing trade direction and future export share from 2006 to
2021 in comparison to competitor countries. Utilizing measures such as Markov chain analysis, revealed
comparative advantage, revealed symmetric comparative advantage, and comparative export
performance Index. The findings reveal that Indian onion exports were highly competitive until 2018
when a ban was imposed, resulting in increased competition from Pakistan. This has posed a serious
threat to India's onion export potential. However, India still maintains a comparative advantage compared
to other top onion exporting countries, as indicated by the comparative export performance Index. Nepal
has consistently been the top importer due to limited domestic production and the inability. On the other
hand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and other countries were identified as unstable markets with uncertain
destinations for Indian onion exports. However, India needs to implement proactive measures to sustain
its position in the global market, such as producing onion varieties that meet foreign requirements and
modifying export policies. Challenges from competitors require strategic efforts to maintain and enhance
India's export competitiveness in the global onion trade.
... Moreover, coffee has been a major export earning commodity of several coffee producing countries in the world (Menji, 2010). India has become self-sufficient in food production and paid attention on the commercial/horticultural crops with special focus on the surplus production crops (Prasad and Shivay, 2020, Kashyap et al., 2015, Mitra and Panda, 2020, Jha et al., 2019, Solares, 2014. The Western Ghats in the southern peninsula of India forms the backbone of India's coffee industry, which covers the traditional coffee growing regions like Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, which accounts for 97 per cent of Indian coffee production. ...
The present study was conducted in the Department of Economics and Sociology, College of Basic Sciences and Humanities, Punjab Agricultural University, Punjab, India to examine growth performance and share of coffee in agricultural export from 2000-01 to 2016–17. The data on quantity of coffee exports from 2005-06 to 2016-17 were collected and used to examine the direction of trade and changing pattern of coffee exports with the use of first order Markov chain analysis. The top six major destinations in each type of coffee were selected for the analysis. The share of coffee in agricultural export earnings was nearly 4% in 2000-01 and decreased to 2% in 2016–17 which is a matter of great concern. The results of Markov Chain Analysis revealed that the major destinations for Indian coffee were Italy, Germany, Belgium, USA, Turkey and Slovenia. Kuwait was the most stable destination for plantation coffee exports, while in case of Arabica cherry Belgium, for Robusta parchment Italy, Germany and Spain for Robusta cherry and for Instant coffee Turkey and Russian federation were the most stable destinations. The climatic events and supply shocks remain the real threat to the development of a balanced market and sustainable conditions for the Indian coffee economy. The Government of India is expected to announce an interest subsidy scheme for exporters in order to boost coffee exports and explore new markets.
... These shifts create demand towards nutritious and high-value commodities (Jha et al., 2019). Therefore, per capita consumption of fruits and vegetables which was only 281 grams/day during 2005-06 has increased to 400 grams /day in 2019-20. ...
The present study aims at analyzing the growth performance of Horticulture in India. The paper analyzes the growth rates and decomposition analysis of horticultural crop groups’ area, production and productivity from 1991-92 to 2020-21. The study period was divided into pre-NHM (1991-92 to 2004-05) and post-NHM (2005-06 to 2020-21). The compound growth rate results show that the growth rate in area, production and productivity of horticultural crop groups are positive and statistically significant during the post-NHM period than the pre-NHM period. From decomposition analysis, area effect and yield effect are positive during the post-NHM period for all the crop groups; the interaction effect also shows positive except for fruits and flower crops. The overall performance in area, production, and productivity is quite satisfactory during the post-NHM period; greater attention needs to be given to the states where productivity has declined with marginal increments under NHM.
