Abstract :

Handlooms have been known to India right from the historic ages. The use of faics, techniques created to make designer art pieces and expressing ethnicity through them has been an integral part of India’s base. Its power is such that Handloom industry constitutes around 14 percent of total preindustrial production and 30 percent of the total export business. Well, that’s not all; it is also the second largest industry in India with important segments, such as independent power looms, modern textile mills, handlooms and garments. This made the handlooms popular in foreign markets also and raised their demand. The main objective of this research paper is to know the important decisions for better export of handloom products. Further, to know the modes of transport and transportation problems for the purpose of export of handloom products and the intermediaries used. It is concluded that each mode of transportation comes with its benefits and problems. Bulk goods can be sent by ship and it is also more economical. However the time taken is very high. Whereas it is much faster to transport by air but much more expensive and bulk quantities cannot be sent.
