US, Japan Call on India to Lift Farm Export Restrictions

The United States and Japan have formally requested that India review and potentially relax its export restrictions on agricultural goods. The two countries cited concerns that the restrictions hamper trade and affect global supply chains. Indian officials have yet to respond publicly to the request. The call comes amid growing international pressure for India to open its markets to foreign farmers and exporters. Both nations emphasize the importance of maintaining fair trade practices and ensuring that domestic producers do not face undue disadvantages.
