Commodity composition effect and market distribution effect is negative .so cce and mde contribution in growth is less. Residual competitiveness effect is positive and high. so it contributes to the growth. COMPETITIVENESS of a products is measure by using World Demand Effect (MDE),Market Distribution Effect (MDE), Commodities Composition Effect(CCE)and residual effect (competitiveness effect).

VEGETABLES PRODUCTS: - MDE is negative in nature. FOODSTUFFS: -WDE and competitiveness effect is positive in nature.
