Abstract

The article discusses the assurances provided by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal regarding the trade agreement between India and the United States, emphasizing that safeguards are in place to protect Indian farmers and domestic industries from excessive imports. Goyal highlights that Indian agricultural exports are significant, amounting to USD 50-55 billion, and that Indian goods will benefit from a competitive tariff advantage in the US market compared to other nations. He notes that while some market access has been granted for certain pulses and lentils, no concessions have been made for dairy products or genetically modified items. Goyal asserts that the trade deal is a balanced approach aimed at supporting Indian farmers and consumers alike. [Extracted from the article]
