Details of exports of iron ore, coal, rare earth minerals, fruits and vegetables are given in Annexure.
Iron ore surplus to domestic industry is being exported. Exports of iron ore have been predominantly constituted of iron ore fines. The domestic steel industry primarily consumes iron ore lumps as domestic consumption of fines is limited due to inadequate pelletization/ sintering capacity. Due to levy of export duty @ 30% ad valorem on both iron ore lumps and fines with effect from 30th December, 2011 and higher railway freight on export cargo for movement of iron ore, the exports of iron ore have declined. There is no export incentive scheme or export promotion scheme for export of coal and rare earth minerals.
The Government is taking steps to encourage exports of agro products including fruits and vegetable through measures and incentives under Plan schemes of the Commodity Boards and Export Promotion Councils. Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) under the administrative control of the Department of Commerce is also implementing various schemes to extend financial assistance to the eligible exporters registered with it to boost the overall agri exports. Besides these measures, the Ministry of Commerce & Industry has put in place various schemes namely Market Development Assistance (MDA), Market Assistance Initiative (MAI), Assistance to States for Developing Export Infrastructure and Allied Activities (ASIDE), Vishesh Krishi and Gram Upaj Yojana, Focus Product Scheme, Focust Market Scheme, Town of Export Excellence, etc. to provide assistance to encourage exports. Trade delegations are also mounted to penetrate foreign markets and Buyer-Seller Meets are organized to assist the potential exports.

DS/RK
Export duty and freight increases reduced iron ore exports; government promotes agricultural exports via targeted assistance schemes. Levy of a 30% ad valorem export duty on iron ore lumps and fines and higher railway freight for export cargo have led to a decline in iron ore exports, which had been driven by exports of fines due to limited domestic pelletization/sintering capacity. There is no export incentive scheme for coal and rare earth minerals. To boost agro exports, the Government implements assistance schemes (including MDA, MAI, ASIDE, Vishesh Krishi and related focus product/market programmes) and APEDA financial support, supplemented by trade delegations and buyer-seller meets. Annexed tables provide provisional and historical export data. of Press 'Enter' after typing page number.
