GENEVA : A decline in global trade in the third quarter 2022 is expected to get worse in 2023, according to the United Nations Conference on Trade andDevelopment(UNCTAD).
The UN trade body’s Global Trade Update for December 2022 noted that after a record year, global trade growth had turned negative in the second half of2022.
UNCTAD pegged global trade at $32trn for 2022, comprising $25trn in goods and $7trn in services. Those estimates represent a 10% increase in trade of goods over 2021, and a 15% increaseinservices.
“Thoserecordlevelsarelargelydue to robust growth in the first half of 2022. Conversely, trade growth has been subdued during the second half of the year,”saidUNCTAD.It’sfiguresshowa 1% drop in the trade of services in Q3
2022 compared to Q2 2022, with a 1.3% increaseintradeofservices.
UNCTAD’s nowcast assessment of current trade “indicates that the value of global trade will decrease in Q4 2022 bothforgoodsandforservices.”
While its preliminary figures show a drop in value for the trade of goods, volumes rose by 3% which UNCTAD said reflects resilience in global demand. Other positive factors noted in the report included an improvement in logistics, lower congestion and falling freightrates.
Trade patterns were being influenced by a reshaping of global supply chains through sourcing diversification, reshoring and nearshoring, all of which are expected to impact trade in the coming year. Trade patterns will also reflect movement towards a greener economy, with
carbon intensive goods and fossil fuel energyfallingoutoffavour.
On the negative side, UNCTAD listed factors including lower economic growthandthehighpriceofgoods.High energy prices are bringing down economic forecasts as interest rates rise,whilerelatedincreasesintheprice ofgoods&inputssoftenimportdemand.
The combination of rising interest rates and record levels of global debt bring growing concerns over debt sustainability,saidUNCTAD,especially for highly indebted governments in an environment of tightening financial conditions.
“The ongoing trade slowdown is expected to worsen for 2023. While the outlook for global trade remains uncertain, negative factors appear to outweigh positive trends,” said UNCTAD.

NEW DELHI : The capacity of Major Ports in the Country has increased by 83 per cent in the last seven years, informed the Union Minister of Ports and Shipping, Sarbananda Sonowal, in the Rajya Sabha.
The capacity of Major Ports has increased from 871.52 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) in FY 2014-15 to 1,597.59MTPAinFY2021-22.
Similarly, the capacity of NonMajor Ports in the Country has increased from 991.67 MTPA in FY 2019-20to1,007.40MTPAinFY2021-22.
The total capacity added in Major and Non-Major Ports since 2020 is 78.41MTPA.
Currently, India has 12 Major ports — Deendayal, Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT), Mormugao, New Mangalore, Cochin, Chennai, Ennore (Kamarajar), Tuticorin (V O Chidambaranar), Visakhapatnam, Paradip and Kolkata (including Haldia).
A maximum of three Major Ports are located in Tamil Nadu followed by
two in Maharashtra and one each in Gujarat, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal.
No new Major Port has been constructed after the year 2020. All Major Ports in the Country are functionalports.
These Major Ports have a total of 272 berths. A berth is basically an area where the cargo is loaded or discharged on and off the ships. Each port or terminal has several berths which usually have shore equipment for handling cargo, where the cargo is discharged,loadedandmaybestored.
Out of 272 berths at Major Ports, 70 berths have been given on public private partnership (PPP) mode for operation and rest of the berths are port-owned.
There are 213 Non-Major Ports managed by and under the control of respective State Maritime Board/StateGovernment.
According to international standards, port capacity should be
30 per cent higher than cargo traffic to provide efficient services and lower the average turn-around and preberthingtime.
Major Ports’ capacity has been enhanced consistently to meet growing traffic needs, but the increase in traffic has not been proportional to theincreaseincapacity.
These ports have identified capacity expansion projects based on thefollowingtheme:
• Newberthadditioninlinewithcargo profile
• Existing berths upgrade to improve handlingcapacity
• Existing berths conversion to handlenewcommodities
As part of Maritime India Vision (MIV) 2030, all major ports together need to undertake capacity addition to thetuneof423MTPA.
A total investment cost of over Rs 33,400 crore has been envisaged for this capacity expansion. Out of this, approximately 95 per cent capacity expansion has been planned under PPPmodebymajorports.

A brief idea about V-Care Educon and its academic activities
“Our core business is of International logistics and we have been dealing with various companies of different sizes and industries. During our journey, we found a huge gap between employers’ expectations and fresh graduates’ skill sets. And that’s how we started V-Care Educon which gives skilled base training and practical knowledge to students and freshers in the areas like Export-Import, Shipping & Logistics,IT&Software,GraphicDesign,etc.Inashortspan, we have trained more than 1000 students in various specialties and helped them with placements too, said
Wehavealsocreatedaplatform where Employers can post their job requirements and job seekers can post their resumes and apply for jobs. This portal (www.vcare.group) offers free registration for everyone. During the training, we also found that many students were struggling to get the right internship placement and at the same time many Employers were not getting good interns. To fill this gap we have initiated an Internship Support Program on our portal. Here Employers can post their requirements and whoever is interested in the specific internship can apply. As of now, our focus is on industries like Export-Import, Shipping & Logistics,IT&Software,GraphicDesign, etc.
