Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Saturday said the government has protected major crops and dairy products while prioritising farmers’ interests in the interim framework of the India–US trade agreement.
He also emphasised that the deal would open American markets to Indian exports. “There’s going to be a lot of
benefit.
It is in favour of farmers and the people of India. We have protected all major crops and dairy products. On the other hand, farmers will get markets for export.
Our basmati rice will rock the US. Our spices will go there. This is in the best interest of farmers,” Chouhan told reporters while interacting with farmers in Sehore district.
