abstract
India is the leading fruits producer of the world contributing 21 percent to the Asia’s and 11 percent of world’s fruit area. The study was conducted to analyse the trend, growth and direction of trade of mango pulp (HS 4-digit 0804 and 0812) of India for the period of twenty yeas from 2001-02 to 2020-21. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for two period (2001-02 to 2010-11 and 2011-12 to 2020-21) was calculated and the results showed negative growth rate in period II for both export quantity and export value with 5.8 percent and 3.45 percent, respectively. The direction of trade analysed and the transition probability matrix showed that China was the loyal trading partner with 64 percent retention capacity. The decline in mango pulp export was due to diversification in the export basket within processed fruits where the export was increased in jam, jelly and marmalades of mango but India experienced a positive trade balance for mango pulp which was due to many exports promotion policy of India.
