By the results we had concluded that agricultural exports and agricultural productivity has a bi-directional causality and imports and exports have unidirectional causality whereas agricultural imports in terms of finished products and agricultural productivity have no causality because when the income of the peoples increases so this leads to increase in the imports this do not affect the agricultural productivity
