The second round of trade agreement between India and the US will begin on April 23. Under the leadership of Indian chief negotiator Rajesh Agarwal, it is believed that there will be agricultural products at the center of the discussion in this era. According to people who are closely monitoring the matter, the US wants India to prefer American agricultural products as a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement on the ‘mutual’ principle in the crop agreement. At the same time, India wants fair and equivalent behavior.
Talk from soybean to corn
According to the Hindustan Times newspaper report, the US wants to solve the non -tariffs of goods soon. He does not want to discuss different products in negotiations. However, the Indian side is careful about the fact that the regional defect in tariffs at one time affects some sensitive areas that are important to poor farmers or small industries. India is committed to protect its farmers. The US is interested in exporting agricultural products such as soybean, maize, almonds, cashew nuts, walnuts, pistachios, meat, dairy products, fruits and vegetables.
The tariff exemption on the fruit is given!
At the same time, Indian growers are in good condition to compete in some of these areas. There are some obstacles in the conversation on the dairy, but India is ready to find the opportunity to discount on tariffs on some nuts and fruit, including almonds, walnuts and pistachios. These are items that do not rise to the domestic level. Currently, India imposes heavy duty on these products, for example, Rs.35 per kg per kg of peeled almonds and 100 % tariffs. If the roots are believed, such a phase helps to increase the conversation without affecting Indian farmers.
India is tough on dairy imports
Officials said the commodity trade would be included in the first installment of the Indo-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA). He said there was a ‘almost consent’ between the two sides that there were no tariffs and tariff problems for the first goods. Although there are many aspects of this agreement, there are important, but there is a problem with the lack of negotiations. India’s attitude on dairy imports from the US is slightly tough. It is said that India is a little doubtful about the food provided by the animals in the US and that it can adopt a slightly tough attitude towards dairy imports.
