::: Summary :::
I. Summary of Export :-
Export
during 2006-2007 (April-March’07), which was Rs.10,552 Million
equivalent to about US$ 241 Million, was lower by 11% in Indian Rupees
and by 10% in average dollar terms as compared to the same period of
2005-2006 (2,85,800 MT/Rs.11,862 Million/US$ 267 Million). In terms of
quantity, export during 2006-2007 was to the tune of 2,42,800 M.Ton,
which was also lower by 15% as compared to same period of 2005-2006.
This
declining trend in cumulative exports has been mainly attributable to
fall in exports of major exportable items like Hessian by 29% in
quantity and by 24% in value, and JDPs by 18% in value terms. However,
export of Yarn has shown an upward trend by 13% in quantity and 14% in
value terms as compared to corresponding period of previous year.
Similarly, Sacking also has shown an increasing trend by 4% in value
terms during 2006-07 as compared to 2005-06.
