Abstract:
The foremost focus of this study is to scan the export performance of plantation sector in India for the years 1987-2019 using the CGAR, Cuddy-Della Valle instability index and index number. The analysis mainly draws conclusion on the selected major plantation crop tea, coffee, and cocoa. The analysis of growth trends of plantation crop exports during the overall period registered positive growth rate for export quantity and export unit value. The high growth rates of cocoa products together with high instability indices in the export revealed the prospects for Indian plantation sector in the global market during the post liberalization period. Incase of tea and coffee showed annual growth rate at minimum and instability indicating low to medium range during the overall period. While the trend analysis with the help of index number showed fluctuations in export quantity and export value throughout the study period which may be due to changing policies and its execution at different periods of time. The result indicated that India must give much effort to increase the export share of plantation crop and other value-added plantation products like green tea, toasted coffee grain, cocoa paste etc. to augment the foreign earnings
