Abstract

There are apprehensions that liberalisation of agricultural imports would hit our producers and impair the growth prospects of farm sector. Krishi Bhavan officials are busy in discussing plans to counter the imports and to safeguard Indian farmers against such perceived threats. To aid this process, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research asked this Centre to prepare a paper to explore the implications of import liberalisation and to propose suitable strategy. Accordingly, an issues paper on the subject was prepared which was discussed in a workshop involving concerned experts, academicians, officials and industry representatives on September 10, 1997. This policy paper is an outcome of this effort. We are grateful to the workshop participants for their valuable ontributions which formed rich source for this paper. The paper also provides useful information about the items covered under QRs, tariff rates, and other statistics relevant to trade.
