The World Trade Organization (WTO) convened in Geneva to conduct India’s 8th Trade Policy Review (TPR) covering the 2021–2025 period, evaluating the country’s trade governance, regulatory policies, and growing share in global commercial trade under an official delegation led by Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal. Parallel to these trade discussions, India maintained a firm stance in broader WTO ocean sustainability negotiations by seeking a 25-year transition window under the proposed secondary fisheries pact to protect its vast small-scale fishing sector before dismantling domestic support mechanisms, contrasting with strict bans on industrial fleets. Finally, regional processing initiatives, such as APEDA’s collaboration on Uttarakhand’s State Agri Export Policy, are deploying transport assistance subsidies and cold-chain infrastructure to offset high logistics costs for landlocked states, integrating local farming communities directly into high-value global supply chains.
