India-US trade deal: Farmers question import of animal feed, soybean oil
India's decision to import animal feed like DDGs and soybean oil from the US has sparked farmer concerns, who fear the products originate from genetically modified crops. While the government assures that all domestic crops remain safe and GM traces are eliminated post-processing, farm organizations are seeking greater clarity on the agreement's implications for local agriculture and farmer incomes.
