New Delhi, 29 Oct (KNN) As per India Ratings, it will be difficult for exports from India to see a substantial growth in the first half of FY22.

It has recommended for a combination of policy support and strategies to tap opportunities of manufactured products for exports among developed and developing markets.

The report pointed out that due to the aging population in developed markets, the demand for goods and products is different than what the emerging economies are exporting to them.

Hence, the Indian export market should be cognizant of this situation and accordingly market the mix products along with the existing range of export products.

On the downside, sales fell significantly for Iron ore (-72.8 percent) and oil meals (-39.1 percent).

India’s main export partners are: United States (15 percent of the total exports), United Arab Emirates (11 percent), Hong Kong (5 percent), China (4 percent), Singapore (4 percent) and United Kingdom (3 percent).
