11. In 2023, what position did India retain in global agriculture exports?
India retained its position as the 8th largest global agriculture exporter in 2023, with an export value of $51 billion, down from $55 billion in 2022. Despite a decline in export value, India maintained its ranking due to the overall decrease in agricultural exports among top exporters, except for Brazil, the EU, and Thailand. Geopolitical issues and export bans on wheat, rice, and sugar contributed to the decline in India's agricultural exports.
