In a detailed reply in the Lok Sabha, the government highlighted that the agriculture and allied sectors contribute approximately 18% to India’s total Gross Value Added (GVA). The recent trade deals, particularly with the US, are being carefully managed to ensure that this critical sector benefits from modern inputs without facing unfair competition from subsidized imports. The focus remains on boosting the export of high-demand items like processed foods and organic produce. By securing better market access through diplomatic channels, India aims to provide its farmers with a global platform, ensuring that the benefits of international trade reach the grassroots level.
