The market access to agricultural products, a sector that has long been protected in Indian imports, is set to be discussed as a U.S. delegation, led by Brendan Lynch, the U.S.
Trade Representative's point-person for South and Central Asia, embarks on a five-day visit to India on Tuesday.
This visit holds great significance for both countries as they look to enhance their trade relations and address any existing trade barriers.
The U.S. has been pushing for greater market access for its agricultural products in India, citing the country's high tariffs and strict regulations as hindrances.
On the other hand, India has been wary of opening up its agricultural sector, fearing competition from cheaper imports.
This visit provides an opportunity for both sides to engage in discussions and negotiations to find a mutually beneficial solution.
It remains to be seen how successful the talks will be and if any concrete steps will be taken towards liberalizing the agricultural trade between the two nations.
Nevertheless, this visit marks an important step towards strengthening the economic ties between India and the U.S. and could potentially pave the way for further collaborations in the future.
