Import of Essential Commodities


he commodity-wise detail of import of essential commodities is given in Annexure. Country-wise detail during the period 2009-10, 2010-2011 and 2011-12 (April 2011- Jan.2012)
 (latest published) is available in the DGCI&S publication in CD form namely ‘Foreign Trade Statistics of India’ (Principal Commodities & Countries) for  March 2010, March 2011
 and January 2012 respectively. Such CDs are regularly sent to Parliament Library by DGCI&S.
Import takes place either because the country is short of it, as in the case of pulses and edible oils etc., or because domestic prices are higher.
