Export Strategy ?
News reports are agonizing over the declining figures of
exports for the past 6 months - month after month
There is no doubt , among many corrective actions being
undertaken by the Central Government , promoting exports from MSME , is one
No need to look far, for a reason for this emphasis
Just look at how much MSME in our neighboring countries
are exporting :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Country
/ No of MSME
/ Ave Export / year ( $ )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Singapore / 9,296
/ 6.74 Million
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Malaysia
/
28,840
/ 2.05 Million
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
S.Korea
/ 2.9
million
/ 45 , 000
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
India
/ 30 million
/ 4, 000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now , even if each of our MSME succeeds in exporting
just $ 40,000 worth of exports per year , that would amount to ,
$ 40,000*30 million
!
Currently each MSME ( on an average ) employs 2.5
persons
How many more persons would 30 million MSME need to
employ , if each were to raise exports by 10 times ? ( from $ 4000 to $
40,000 )
It is reported that , even at the current level of
operations , India's MSME sector creates 1.3 million jobs every year
For raising (ave) MSME exports by 10 times , would that
figure go up to 13 million new jobs /
year ?
Enough to absorb the 12 million persons joining our job
market each year ?
It is time for re-thinking our Export Strategy
By emulating smaller neighbors , we could solve two
problems at one time !
