Specific features of the agricultural state and the main directions of agricultural export policy in india

India is one of the world's largest agricultural countries and the important trading partner of Russia, where the agricultural sector is the main component of the country's economy (32‰ of GDP). Currently, India is on the path of reforming and developing agricultural production and integrating into world agriculture, but many negative marks of the colonial past still remain. The government's focus on expanding agricultural trade with South-East Asian countries, especially with China, as well as with Russia and the United States, stimulates domestic and external demand for many types of agricultural raw materials and food, allows you to direct part of the foreign exchange funds received from exports to carry out reforms and eliminate some negative phenomena in the country's agriculture, which improves the social situation of the poorest segments of the rural population. As an agricultural and industrial country, India has the second place in the world in terms of agricultural production after the United States. However, despite of positive developments and achievements, there are great contrasts in its modern agriculture, in particular, when, along with large mechanized plantations, small peasant farms with a predominance of manual labor and the use of animals as draught power in agricultural work, and many farmers do not have their own land plots at all. The relevance of this work is to analyze the state of agriculture and modern export agricultural policy in India, highlighting the most effective government measures to support the production of export-oriented agricultural products. Positive conditions and main directions of increasing the export potential of agricultural products in the country and the measures taken by the Indian government to stimulate it in the world food market have been formulated. The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Indian agricultural exports in 2020 is shown. The purpose of the study is to identify and summarize the positive trends of the Indian government in increasing the export of agricultural products based on the analysis of agricultural policy and the state of Indian agriculture. Particular attention is paid to the development of Indian-Russian relations in the export of agricultural products. The main results of the study are the identification of specific features of the state of agriculture in India and promising measures of state bodies for the development of national agriculture and export of agricultural products on the world food market, some of which may be of interest to the Russian agro-industrial complex
