      abstract = {The paper has examined temporal changes in the composition  of livestock exports, assessed the export
competitiveness  of different livestock products and analysed the factors  affecting the growth of livestock
export. The performance  of livestock export has been found noteworthy. The  liberalization policy initiated
in 1991 seems to have  improved the performance of livestock exports. The study  has revealed that India is
competitive in export of meat  products, except poultry. The export of buffalo meat has  been increasing
consistently and the poor domestic demand  has further fuelled its export. But, the export of mutton  does
not seem to have much prospects in the short-run, as  even the domestic demand is not being met by
domestic  production. In milk and milk products, India has some  advantage at the farm level, but is not
competitive in  export of milk and milk products under the prevailing world  market situation. The domestic
policy initiatives and  increased production and productivity have been identified  as the important factors
in increasing the export of  livestock products. The study has suggested that  strengthening of export
supply capacity domestically holds  the key for enhancing export of livestock products rather  than expanding
world market.},
