Abstract: This paper critically evaluates the making of the Agricultural Export Policy (AEP), 2018 in India and identifies the missing thread in the process. The analysis is based on relevant policy documents, supported by secondary literature and interaction with key stakeholders. Prima facie, the policy (AEP, 2018) seems to be an improvised version over the then existing Agricultural Export Zones (AEZ) policy but still many caveats are associated with it. The major one includes: inadequate emphasis on infrastructure required to boost agricultural exports, errors in the inclusion and exclusion of products identified under AEP and side-lining issues about trade facilitation, doing business and also capacity building and preparedness at the state level.
