Analysis of Growth Rates and Instability of Export of Tomato and its Products from India

The study explores the analysis of the growth rates and instability of tomato area, production and export of tomato and its products from India during the study period 2001-2002 to 2019-2020 based on secondary data. The period of the study was 20 years, which was divided into three periods i.e., Period Ⅰ (2001-2002 to 2009-2010), Period Ⅱ (2011-2012 to 2019-2020) and overall period (2001-2002 to 2019-2020). The data collected from various publications including FAO, India stats, APEDA and APMC. The data was analysed with the help of analytical tool i.e., compound growth rate (CGR) and coefficient of variation (CV). In overall period, positive growth rate and significant was observed in area, production, export quantity of tomato, export value of tomato, export quantity of tomato paste, export quantity of tomato peeled and export value of tomato peeled, with CGR of 3.66, 6.58, 8.06, 3.60, 10.46, 4.34 and 1.06 per cent, respectively. The export of tomato juice and export of tomato paste was showed negative growth rate and non - significant. During overall period, the higher coefficient of variation was observed in export quantity of tomato juice, tomato peeled, tomato paste and fresh tomato with CV of 145.56, 91.35, 82.87 and 82.97 per cent respectively. The lower CV was observed in area, and production with a value of 23.53 and 36.56 per cent respectively. The result was concluded that the tomato and its products have better export potential in future.
