II. REASON AND PURPOSES FOR INTRODUCING AND MAINTAINING STATE TRADING ENTERPRISES (STES)

The objectives of granting special privileges on export or import of certain products are the following:

EXPORT

(i) Export privileges for some agricultural and minor forest produce, which are grown or harvested by large numbers of small farmers or tribal farmers have been given to STEs to enable better marketing, realization of better prices, ensuring a steady domestic supply and preventing wide domestic price fluctuations. However, in line with measures to gradually liberalise the economy, exports of onion have been taken off the STEs list and have been made ‘free’. Therefore, export of onion can now be made by any eligible exporter.

(ii) Similarly for ensuring a reliable supply of kerosene and Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG), which are used as household fuels, exports of crude oil is allowed only through STEs. As far as minerals and ores are concerned, exports by STEs are necessary for conservation and proper utilization of these natural resources.

IMPORT

The government procures food grains and certain select agricultural items from farmers at a remunerative minimum support price that is then made available to people below the poverty line at subsidised rates. In this way the interests of both farmers and economically weaker sections of the society are taken care of. In this context, STEs domestically procure and import, depending on the market supply situation and the demand. Such operations by STEs enable effective monitoring of the supply situation which, in turn, can ensure that concerns relating to food security are appropriately addressed. In the case of petroleum products, imports/exports are undertaken at market determined prices. Regarding domestic pricing, a system of domestic support for kerosene and LPG (used as domestic fuel), is presently in place, necessitating imports through a single monitorable route. In the context of fertilizers, state trading is necessary to properly implement and manage supplies to the farmers.

However, of late in line with the on-going liberalisation measures, the import policy with regards to agricultural commodities (barring rice and wheat) has been appropriately changed and these are no longer confined to STEs, with the products now allowed to be imported by any eligible importer.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE FUNCTIONING OF THE STATE TRADING ENTERPRISES

A. Policy Provisions

(i) The exclusive right to export or import is granted to an enterprise under the provisions of the Foreign Policy (FTP). This policy requires that any goods, the import or export of which is governed through exclusive or special privileges granted to STEs, may be imported or exported by the STEs as specified in the ITC (HS) Classification of Export and Import Items book, subject to the conditions specified therein. This book and amendments, if any, are available at the website http://dgft.gov.in.

(ii) All the STEs granted special privileges in respect of goods, the import or export of which are governed through the provisions of the FTP, shall make any such purchases or sales involving imports or exports, solely in accordance with commercial considerations including price, quality, availability, marketability, transportation and other conditions of purchase or sale. These enterprise(s) act in a non-discriminatory manner and afford the enterprises of other countries adequate opportunity in accordance with customary business practices to compete for participation in such purchases or sales.

B. Exports

(i) Till March 2014, onions had been kept under STE provision, mainly to ensure the availability of adequate quantity in the domestic market. However, since then, the policy with regard to export of onions has been changed to free, mainly in line with the changed economic realities.

One of the objectives of the corporation is to promote exports and imports of sugar and sugar products and by-products. ISEC has been granted the rights for export of raw sugar and white sugar under preferential tariff to US&EU during the period.

(iii) For certain minerals and ores, exclusive exporting rights are granted to a particular enterprises. Export prices in all these cases are determined on commercial considerations and by the demand and supply forces in the international market. In the case of iron ore, prices may be fixed on a yearly basis as the exports take place under long-term/annual contracts. In the case of mineral and ore products, the quantities available for export are liable to be restricted from time to time, keeping in view the domestic requirement as well as the need to conserve exhaustible natural resources. STEs in this regard are:

(a) Kudremukh Iron Ore Company Ltd (KIOCL): KIOCL has been granted the right to export Iron ore concentrate, produced by itself, prepared by beneficiation and/or concentration of low grade iron ore containing 40% or less of iron and the right to export Iron Ore pellets manufactured by the company out of concentrates produced by itself. The ore available at the mines cannot be put to use commercially without beneficiation or value addition, and technical and logistical constraints make it unviable to put to use the production of the beneficiated ore domestically. The export prices for the product are determined by the market forces of demand and supply. The export levels are based on the basis of supply capacity and demand for the products.

(b) Manganese Ore India Ltd (MOIL): MOIL was established in 1962 and is the largest producer of Manganese Ore in India. Being a Government of India undertaking, the Government of India holds 81.57 per cent shares in MOIL with the State Governments of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, holding 9.62% and 8.81% shares respectively.

It has been granted the right to export only specified varieties of iron ore; manganese ore, chrome ore lumps and mica scrap as and when there is a surplus of these raw materials.

C. Imports

The State Trading Enterprises (STEs) domestically procure/ purchase and import depending on the supply situation as well as prices.

(i) For agricultural products, since the main purpose of maintenance of state trading is both a fair return to the farmers as well as food security i.e., availability of adequate food for all sections of the society at prices affordable by them, domestic and international prices as well as supply conditions are the main determinants of the quantities of imports. The resale price of imported

G/STR/N/15/IND

- 7 - products is based on commercial considerations. The imports face fair competition from the domestic market. However, in the case of bulk importers, they are able to negotiate fairly competitive rates.

However, for a majority of agricultural products, barring rice and wheat, the import policy stands changed from STE to free with effect from 29 September 2014. The details of the STEs that had been granted import privileges for the two years- 2012-13 and 2013-14 are as under:

FCI has been granted the right to import cereals like wheat, rye, oats, rice, grain sorghum, buckwheat, millet, canary seed, jawar, bajra, ragi and other cereals. Most of the afore mentioned items have been removed from the STE list with effect from September 2014 and put under "free" category.

(b) State Trading Corporation (STC) of India Ltd.: STC was set up in 1956, as a corporation under the Indian Companies Act 1956 and is one of the premier international trading organizations of the country. Being a specialized trading enterprise, STC has been granted the right to import copra, crude edible oil (Coconut oil and its fractions) and Urea.

(ii) Regarding fertilizers, India maintains a system of support for both imported as well as domestic fertilizers. A state trading enterprise imports or procures domestically, keeping in view the international prices, the domestic demand and the necessity of assured supply to farmers. The import levels of urea are established in consultation with the Department of Fertilisers and the Department of Agriculture and Co-operation. The Government of India authorises the STEs to import urea for supply to urea handling and marketing companies for distribution throughout the country.

(a) Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation Limited (MMTC Ltd.): MMTC has been granted the exclusive importing rights to import Urea.

(b) Indian Potash Limited (IPL): IPL's major activity is marketing and sales promotion of potash. IPL is the STE for import of urea and the Department of Fertiliser in the Government of India imports urea through this enterprise.

(iii) India being a large importer of crude oil, imports a major portion of its requirements, through the STEs following the normal commercial practices.
