also desires to find out the relationship between growth rate and export instability. Eleven commodities were identified to
calculate the growth rate and instability index. Compound growth rate is used to calculate growth rate. To estimate the export
instability, Coefficient of variation (CV) and Cuddy Della Valle Instability index (CDVI) were used to estimate the variation in
the export of and to measure the instability, This study has covered the time period of twenty years i.e., from 2000-01 to 2019-20
