What is meant by export? - Legal definition

Concept of Export • The term export derives from the conceptual meaning as to ship the goods and services out of the port of a country. • The seller of such goods and services is referred to as an “exporter” who is based in the country of export whereas the overseas based buyer is referred to as an “importer”. • In International Trade, “export” refers to selling goods and services produced in the home country to other markets. • In very simple terms, export may be defined as the selling of goods to a foreign country. However, As per Secion 2(e) of the India Foreign Trade (Development & Regulations) Act (1992), the term export may be defined as ‘an act of taking out of India any goods by land, sea or air and with proper transaction of money”.

Why Export - Reasons for Export • There are many good reasons for exporting. Some of the motives of export are given below: • The first and the primary reason for export is to earn foreign exchange. The foreign exchange not only brings profit for the exporter but also improves the economic condition of the country. • Secondly, companies that export their goods are believed to be more reliable than their counterpart domestic companies assuming that exporting company has survived the test in meeting international standards. • Thirdly, free exchange of ideas and cultural knowledge opens up immense business and trade opportunities for a company. • Fourthly, as one starts visiting customers to sell one’s goods, he has an opportunity to start exploring for newer customers, state-of-the-art machines and vendors in foreign lands. • Fifthly, by exporting goods, an exporter also becomes safe from offset lack of demand for seasonal products. • Lastly, international trade keeps an exporter more competitive and less vulnerable to the market as the exporter may have a business boom in one area while simultaneously witnessing a bust in a different area.

Who can export? • Any one who wants to do something different • Anyone who wants to enter in a profit zone • Anyone who has assessed his readiness to enter in new field & try his luck • Anyone who is willing to take risk • Anyone who is constantly updating himself on global business environment

Planning for Export • The organization should plan well before exporting as to what product to be exported, where to be exported etc. The organization should also evaluate the export potential of a company. The main objective of a typical export plan should be to identify: – The objectives of exporting – Lists of activities to undertake to achieve those objectives – Mechanism for review and – Activities to help focus on goals

Contd. . • Successful exporters agree that your ability to become an accomplished international traders depends largely on how you Target new business areas Identify and focus on markets, which consume products having the same competitive profile as the products you can supply Adopt appropriate export development strategy Have some idea of impact of the FTAs, WTO standards, SPS Measures, Intellectual Property Rights, domestic regulations on the products of interest Make every penny count Dig out every penny due to you from the system, by making best use of available opportunities, policies and schemes

Contd. . • Information on the above subject is spread across numerous websites and documents produced by the Trade Ministries of various countries (For FTA, GSP, Customs duty), DGFT, Customs, RBI, Central Excise, Banks, WTO, Other international bodies. • You do not need to understand everything available, but how do you know what to miss. Information Overload makes impossible demand on your resources and time.

Contd. . • The course you have enrolled provides straight answers to innumerable questions asked by the exporters as they launched, developed and grew their business. It is a one stop access to information scattered across 100 s of websites, manuals, and schemes : and covers basic essentials for starting your business endeavor.

International Trade Scenario • Global growth declined in the first half of 2015, reflecting a further slowdown in emerging markets and a weaker recovery in advanced economies. • It is now projected at 3. 1 percent for 2015 as a whole, slightly lower than in 2014, and 0. 2 percentage point below the forecasts in the July 2015 World Economic Outlook (WEO) Update. • Prospects across the main countries and regions remain uneven. Relative to last year, growth in advanced economies is expected to pick up slightly, while it is projected to decline in emerging market and developing economies. • With declining commodity prices, depreciating emerging market currencies, and increasing financial market volatility, downside risks to the outlook have risen, particularly for emerging market and developing economies.

Contd. . • Global activity is projected to gather some pace in 2016. In advanced economies, the modest recovery that started in 2014 is projected to strengthen further. • In emerging market and developing economies, the outlook is projected to improve: in particular, growth in countries in economic distress in 2015 (including Brazil, Russia, and some countries in Latin America and in the Middle East), while remaining weak or negative, is projected to be higher next year, more than offsetting the expected gradual slowdown in China.

The World Economy in Recent Months • Growth in advanced economies in the first half of 2015 remained modest. • For most emerging market economies, external conditions are becoming more difficult. • Financial market volatility rose sharply during the summer, with declining commodity prices and downward pressure on many emerging market currencies. • Capital inflows have slowed, and the lift off of U. S. policy rates from the zero lower bound is likely to herald some further tightening of external financial conditions. • And while the growth slowdown in China is so far broadly in line with forecasts, its cross-border repercussions appear larger than previously envisaged.

Global Outlook for 2015 -16 • Global growth is projected to decline from 3. 4 percent in 2014 to 3. 1 percent in 2015, before picking up to 3. 6 percent in 2016. • India is projected to remain strong. These developments more than offset the projected continuation of the slowdown in China.

Global Outlook for the Medium Term • Global growth is forecast to increase beyond 2016, entirely reflecting a further pickup in growth in emerging market and developing economies. • This pickup reflects two factors. • The first is the assumption of a gradual return to trend rates of growth in countries and regions under stress or growing well below potential in 2015– 16 (for example, Brazil and the rest of Latin America, Russia, and parts of the Middle East). • The second factor is the gradual increase in the global weight of fast-growing countries such as China and India, which further increases their importance as drivers of global growth.

Contd. . • Elsewhere in emerging and developing Asia, India’s growth is expected to strengthen from 7. 3 percent this year and last year to 7. 5 percent next year. • In India, inflation is expected to decline further in 2015, reflecting the fall in global oil and agricultural commodity prices.

Policies to Foster Growth and Manage Vulnerabilities in Emerging Market and Developing Economies • In India, near-term growth prospects remain favorable, and the decrease in the current account deficit has lowered external vulnerabilities. • The faster-than expected decline in inflation has created space for considering modest cuts in the nominal policy rate, but the real policy rate needs to remain tight for inflation to decline to the inflation target in the medium term, given upside risks to inflation. • Several years of downgraded medium-term growth prospects suggest that it is also time for major emerging market economies to turn to important structural reforms to raise productivity and growth in a lasting way. Although the slowing in estimated total factor productivity growth in major emerging market economies is partly a natural implication of recent progress in convergence.

Condt. . • The concern is that potential output growth has become too dependent on factor accumulation in some economies. • The structural reform agenda naturally differs across countries, but it includes removing infrastructure bottlenecks in the power sector (India, Indonesia, South Africa); easing limits on trade and investment and improving business conditions (Brazil, Indonesia, Russia); and implementing reforms to education, labor, and product markets to raise competitiveness and productivity (Brazil, China, India, South Africa) and government services delivery (South Africa).

In the mid-1990 s, most of Chhattisgarh was still a monocrop belt. Only one-fourth to one-fifth of the sown area was double-cropped. When a very substantial portion of the population is dependent on agriculture, a situation where nearly 80% of a state's area is covered only by one crop, immediate attention to turn them into double crop areas is needed. Also, very few cash crops are grown in Chhattisgarh, so there is a need to diversify the agriculture produce towards oilseeds and other cash crops. Chhattisgarh is also called the "rice bowl of central India".

Contd. . • Irrigation • In Chhattisgarh, rice, the main crop, is grown on about 77% of the net sown area. Only about 20% of the area is under irrigation; the rest depends on rain.

The irrigated area available for double cropping is only 87, 000 ha in Chhattisgarh plains and 2300 ha in Bastar plateau and northern hills. Due to this, the productivity of rice and other crops is low, hence the farmers are unable to obtain economic benefits from agriculture and it has remained as subsistence agriculture till now, though agriculture is the main occupation of more than 80% of the population.

Contd. . • Industrial sector • Power sector • Chhattisgarh is one of the few states of India where the power sector is effectively developed.
