Abstract:
In the present study efforts have been made to explore the current status and performance or direction of trade and changes in the export of pomegranate from India. The secondary data on value of Pomegranate exported to various countries were collected for the period 2006-07 to 2014-15. The collected data were analysed using Markov Chain analysis. The study reveals that the production of pomegranate in India during 2006-07 was to a tune of 839650 tons and the quantity exported was 21670.43 tons accounting for 2.6 per cent of production, which increased during the year 2012-13 with production of 744950 tons and correspondingly the export as 35970.60 tons (4.8%). The dynamic nature of trade pattern was analyzed by applying first order Markov process. Examining the gains and losses in export share of major pomegranate importing countries showed UAE as one of the stable importer of Indian pomegranate as reflected by high probability of retention at 0.83811. Netherland and Other-countries were found able to retain their market share by probability of 0.55988 and 0.48860 respectively.
