        abstract = {the Indian economy, agribusiness serves as a vital link between commerce, industry, and agriculture. India continues to rely on raw and little-processed goods, which limits its export competitiveness even though it is one of the world's top producers of agricultural commodities. Long-term growth is constrained, value realization is limited, and global market standing is weakened. This study looks at how value addition might improve Indian agribusiness's export competitiveness from an economic standpoint. The study examines how value addition enhances the connections between agriculture, industry, and commerce; boosts market performance; and promotes sustainable economic growth using a conceptual-analytical methodology based on theories of structural transformation, global value chains, and contemporary trade economics.
The study makes the case that value addition serves as a strategic economic mechanism that helps India go from exporting goods based on volume to being competitive in international agriculture markets based on value.},
