Expressing optimism over India’s agriculture exports, Commerce Secretary Sunil Barthwal has said that the country’s agriculture exports, which stood at over $50 billion at present, are likely to double by 2030 and reach $100 billion. He said that the country is targeting $2 trillion worth of exports of goods and services by 2030.

The secretary said that areas like the ready-to-eat food segment have huge potential to grow. He also urged the industry to focus on the technical standard requirements of importing countries. The government has prohibited exports of wheat and non-basmati white rice and has also imposed curbs on sugar exports.

Earlier, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said that this fiscal year, the country's agri exports will be more than last year's level of $53 billion, despite restrictions imposed on shipments of certain key commodities, including rice, wheat and sugar.
