Abstract

Wheat is globally the leading source of carbohydrate in human food, with the content of about 71 per cent, apart
from this, it also contains 13 per cent proteins which is very high as considered to cereals and hence is also a major source
of proteins around the world. Globally, India is the second-largest producer of rice, wheat and other cereals. The huge
demand for cereals in the global market is creating an excellent environment for the export of Indian cereal products.The
present study aimed to analyze the growth and instability index of wheat export from India. The study depends on
secondary data which was collected from APEDA website for the year 2011-12 to 2022-23. The compound annual growth
rate analysis and Cuddy Della Valle Instability Index was employed for analysis of growth rate and instability index of
wheat exported from India. The results revealed that the growth rate of quantity and value of export of wheat from India
showed negative growth of -0.87 per cent and positive growth of 3.44 per cent, respectively. The instability indices for
export of wheat from India were found positive in both quantity (98.67) and value (99.86) terms and in the range of above
30 which inferred high instability.
