The primary emphasis of this study is on trade agreements and the influence that they have on the dynamics of India's agricultural imports and exports. Because of India's participation in a number of international trade accords, the country's agricultural markets have been shaped throughout the course of time. These treaties have an effect on a variety of different items, including tariffs, subsidies, quotas, and non-tariff obstacles for example. The purpose of this article is to investigate the effects that these accords have had on global commerce, market access, and the competitiveness of agricultural products originating from India. Not only does the research emphasise the economic, social, and environmental implications, but it also evaluates the influence on India's export and import sectors. By comparing India to other countries that have signed equivalent trade agreements, the purpose of this study is to assess how these agreements have impacted the price of agricultural products, supply networks, and the rural economy of the country. Agricultural products from India, such as wheat, rice, and spices, are given special attention in the context of international trade circumstances.
