Abstract : Foreign trade plays a very significant role in the economic, social, political and cultural life of nationals. Foreign
trade is the way of economic development for every country especially for developing country like Indian. Given the
multiplicity of social-economic permutation and combination, every country endeavors to protect and nurture its own inters
first. International trade is becoming complex and highly competitive activity which has played a pivotal role in accelerating
the pace of development. In the process of serving their own interest, the countries after create hindrances and try to lessen
imports which provide subsidies and other benefits to their exporters for promoting them to export more. The countries
world over are adopting various strategies to develop their industries and services such a way that they become self sufficient
and still generate some exportable surpluses. In the process many countries are gradually opening up their market and are
trying to complete and beat them in the market. India is also one of these countries.
Foreign Trade is a vital sector of a county’s national economy and contributes substantially to the economic welfare of the
people and the development of resources. Economies of scale and international specialization as also the fruits of scientific
and technological process in the world become more easily accessible through the foreign trade(1). In the context of planned
economic development of developing nations an appropriate trade policy has become very necessary and significant. Today
no counter in the world is self sufficient in the sense that it does not possess facilities for economical production of all the
goods services that are consumed by its people. Probably no country can produce all the goods that it needs. Therefore, there
is need to trade with others(2). Developing country needs more goods to feed a rapidly growing population. Exports can be a
leading sector in growth(3). This means that higher earnings from higher marketability of a country’s commodities in the
international market would stimulate the indigenous industrial activity in the country. This in turn brings many distinct
benefits viz, greater utilization of resources, large employment opportunities, more foreign exchangeetc. Scholars states that
trade would make the country as a whole better off(4). Foreign trade would make an impressive contribution to a country’s
development.It is considered to be not simply a device for achieving production efficiency but it is also an engine of
growth(5). When trade is introduced into a primitive economy, it acts as a dynamic force widening the extent of the market
and the scope of “division of labor”(6). Foreign trade also facilitate the dissemination of technical knowledge, transmission
of idea, import of know-how, managerial talents, and entrepreneurship. In addition foreign trade encourage movement of
foreign capital.
In totality, foreign trade can have a profound impact on the growth of an economy in terms of production, employment
technology, resources utilization and so on.
