At this time a trade agreement is underway between India and the United States. Although there are many points in this deal, they are important, but there is a problem that can derail the negotiations. India’s position on milk imports from the US is slightly strict. It is said that India is a little suspicious of the supply of animals in the United States, which can be followed by a slight approach to milk imports. We will tell you that by the end of this year, a trade agreement can be recognized between India and the United States.
What animals do not eat in the United States
According to the report of the newspaper Mathina, India’s conversations have cited significant differences in animal food practices. Negotiations have attracted a line over the importation of US dairy products. The newspaper quoted that three sources had an eye in negotiations that dairy products such as butter and cheese would be outside the conversation until the US agreed to change these procedures or to accept the quality of the vegetarian certificate of India.
In the case of dairy products, sources have been raised that feeding for animals in the United States is completely different from India. Stall feeds are provided to livestock in the United States, including animal -based protein sources. In India, this tradition has expressed concern.
Plant -based food
In India, livestock fodder is mainly based on the plant, which depends on the oil cake with a protein. On the contrary, American dairy traditions often include the fat or protein of animals found in meat and bone diet. These are elements that violate Indian Food Security criteria. The rules in India prohibit the internal organs, blood miles, or feeding milk and meat from flowering or pork sources.
The Indian side states that the issue is not only technical or commercial, but it includes ‘deep social and cultural sensitivity’. According to Mathina’s report, the United States has been told about the vegetarian certificate system of India. It has a green target in food packaging. Under this, dairy products should be made from animals grown in full vegetarian diet.
Second round talks on April 23rd
India’s chief talks in Washington are to begin the second round of face -to -face headlines headed by Rajesh Agarwal. Discussions are expected to include many unresolved issues, including digital tax regulation and fees. After the growing trade tension, the US is facing pressure to divert its milk export markets after China imposed heavy fees. In 2023, China imported more than $ 500 million worth of US dairy products.
