ADVERSE IMPACTS ON INDIAN AGRICULTURE******************************** India is a large target market for US agribusiness companies; for products such as almonds,walnuts, cashews, apples, chickpeas, wheat, soybean, maize and peanuts. Huge budgetary allocations and subsidies provided by the US Government allow its agribusiness corporations to distort prices and out-compete local farmers in developing countries. The 2019 US Farm bill allocation was $867 billion (INR 60, 69,000 crores). So far, India has used tariffs as a policy tool to protect its farmers from such an import glut. Trump is demanding that India remove these tariffs. He is also targeting India’s dairy and poultry sector that together sustain the livelihoods of over 100 million households. Many peasant groups such as the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) and Indian Coordination Committee of Farmers Movements (ICCFM) have already written to the Indian Government to desist from further opening up agricultural markets to subsidised products from the US.
