The United States is seeking agricultural market access from India as part of trade negotiations, particularly in opening India’s farm sector to American produce. One of the main points of contention is the difference in government support for farmers in both countries. While the US provides substantial financial support to its farmers through various federal programs, India's support is more focused on subsidies for inputs like fertilizers and irrigation, as well as Minimum Support Price (MSP) procurement. These differing support systems have created challenges in balancing market access for both nations.
