The per cent CGR of total national export in the Period - I was 19 per cent and in Period - II area was 15.09 per cent. The per cent CGR of total national export in the overall Period was 17.52 per cent. The per cent CGR of total agricultural export in the Period - I was 16.97 per cent and in Period - II area was 16.46 per cent. The per cent CGR of total agricultural export in the overall Period was 15.34 per cent.
