ABSTRACT
The banana sector in India is quite different from that of the other major producing countries like China, Indonesia, Brazil, Philippines and Ecuador who mainly export banana. Apart from being the major producer India is also the major consumer of banana. Demand for banana is most evenly distributed over the years because of high production, suitable environment for the growth of banana. Hence, the present study explores the trade performance of banana in India (from 1995-96 to 2014-15) using by compound growth rate and Cuddy Della instability index and also workout the NPC for competitiveness.
The import of banana has been decreasing as compared to banana export with the growth rate of 8.35 per cent level in the overall study period. It is due to the effective and large production of banana. The growth rate of banana export from India in quantity was found significantly positive with 20.37 per cent for the second period (2005-06 to 2014-15) while significantly positive growth of 16.10 per cent was seen during the overall period (1994-95 to 2014-15) under the study. The growth rate of banana in; area, production and productivity were found to be increasing. The growth rate in area and production of banana was 3.70 and 5.01 per cent respectively. The growth in productivity was found to be non-significant with 2.00 per cent over the study period. The productivity of banana showed negative growth rate with -0.15 per cent in the first period (1994-95 to 2014-15) while positive growth rate of 1.60 per cent was found during the overall study period (1994-95 to 2014-15).The growth rate of area under banana in major banana producing states was estimated highest in Gujrat with 5.70 per cent followed by other banana producing states, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra with the CGR of 4.67, 3.92, 3.13 and 1.99 respectively. The Compound Growth rate of production under banana was estimated higher in Gujarat with 10.23 per cent followed by other states, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu with growth rate of 5.00 per cent, 2.52 per cent, 2.3 per cent and 1.94 per cent respectively. The growth rate of productivity of major banana producing state is higher in other non-listed states with 6.20 per cent followed by Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu with 4.48 per cent, 3.88 per cent and 1.12 per cent respectively. The negatively growth rate in the state of Karnataka with growth rate of -1.60 per cent. The growth rate of banana import was found to be high and positively significant during all the periods. The high growth rate in import was found during the first period with 8.76 per cent under the study. It is concluded from the NPC analysis that the export competitiveness of banana has been increasing over the years i.e. there is an export advantage.
