After Piyush Goyal, Shivraj makes it clear: ‘India won’t negotiate US trade deal under pressure, farmers’ interests…’

With the arrival of commercial negotiations between India and the United States to a critical turn, the Federation Minister of Agriculture Chevroj Singhhan explained that New Delhi will not give up basic interests. “The first nation” is our Mwman, we will not be negotiated under pressure. Negotiations will take place with the interests of farmers in mind. India will not be subjected to any kind of pressure. “

The Minister of Commerce, Bush Goyal, also confirmed this position, saying that India refuses to push for commercial deals. “The free trade agreement should be winning. India is never negotiating commercial deals based on the final dates. Our focus is always on fairness and what benefits the country,” he told reporters on Friday. Joyal added that negotiations are continuing with multiple global partners, including the United States and the European Union. He also explained that there are no immediate plans to visit Washington, DC, as the parliament session will start soon.

The talks between the two countries are intensified because they are near the deadline on July 9 to finish the touches of the mutual tariff system by 26 %. The Indian delegation in Washington was recently to hold discussions on a temporary agreement. The United States pushes the concessions of customs tariffs on industrial goods, EVS, wine, petrochemical, dairy, and agricultural products including apples and tree nuts. On the contrary, India has given relief from textiles, gemstones, jewelry, leather, shrimp, banana, grapes and other intensive exports in workers.

However, the attached points remain agricultural concessions and dairy products. These sectors are politically sensitive and economically vital to the countryside of the countryside in India. India has never opened the dairy sector in any previous trade agreement, and with most Indian farmers in the cultivation of small food, the government is unwilling to risk by reducing them with supported American imports.

The World Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) recently said that American products such as Rice, Dairy, Poultry and GM Soy benefit from deep subsidies and that they give them an unfair advantage over Indian producers. He added that any obligation to reduce agricultural definitions permanently under the Free Trade Agreement in India and the United States will be irreversible and non -wise strategic.

“The introductory cuts on American agricultural goods may undermine India’s food security by exposing small farmers to cheap and supported imports,” said GTRI Ajay Srivastava. “India must keep the customs tariffs to protect more than 700 million rural livelihoods and avoid repeating the previous mistakes made under global commercial deals.”
