India resists U.S. demands to open its dairy market, amid fears of economic harm to millions of local farmers.
India, the world's largest milk producer, is experiencing ongoing trade tensions with the United States as the latter pressures India to open its dairy market. Industry leaders, such as Amul's Jayen Mehta, express concerns that allowing cheap American dairy imports could devastate 80 million small farmers across India.
The U.S., under Donald Trump’s policy, has demanded lower tariffs, but Indian officials and farmers argue this could lead to market dumping and significant economic repercussions. Additionally, with cultural and dietary factors in consideration, India is likely to exclude dairy from any bilateral trade agreement with the United States.
