Objectives: To identify growth of exports in cereals, seafood, fresh vegetable and fruits. Also to focus on preventive measures for rejections and denials on exporting food products and its raw material in International market.

Methods/Statistical analysis: The basic research procedure used to identify the growth of exports in India is through the data collected from APEDA of India. The Data has also been collected from research articles, websites, in order to comprehend the continuous issues related to exporting food products from India. The comparative study is carried out by collecting the data from 2012to 2018.

Findings: The development of exports in sea foods and cereals for the financial year 2018 shows that there are precautionary measures carried out in exports for food safety and hygiene which recorded a gradual growth. Since the fresh vegetables and fruits are highly perishable and require proper temperature during storage, there is decline in exports for about 50%. The major reasons are due to insufficient storage space for storing fruits and vegetables; > 20 % vegetables and fruits stock is spoiled during postharvest due to improper storage facilities.

Application: Despite of existing issues in exporting products for some specific countries there exists sustainable growth in food products exports, due to international supply chains management firms that have entered in to the export market. The wastage and loss could be reduced in future.
