Which has the following sentence:

> インドで人気がある小さい炊飯器を輸出する予定です。
>
> My translation: There is a plan to export small rice cookers, which have
> become popular in India.

The sentence ends with **予定です** but I don't understand why. I would expect it
to end with 予定があります instead. Since for me 予定があります would translate to "there is
a plan", where just 予定です would be "it's a plan"

question
grammar syntax
Use of 予定 at the end of sentence
**～予定です** is like "is planned"

eg:

> 外食する予定です。
>
> I plan to eat out.
>
> lit: "eating out is planned"

**～予定があります** is like "there are plans"

eg:

> その日は予定があります。
>
> I have plans on that day.
>
> lit: "on the topic of that day, there are plans"

So, applying this logic to your example sentence:

> It is planned to export small rice cookers popular in India.
