Non veg milk: Before the new tariff is implemented from 1 August 2025, a trade deal is expected to be done between India and the US. According to the Reuters report, recently US President Donald Trump said in a statement, “We are going to do another trade deal, perhaps he should be with India.” However, the talk between the two countries about ‘non-veg milk’ is stuck.
America is in demand from India
There are discussions about many issues between India and America. America demands that India open its agriculture and dairy sector to America. The US wants its dairy products to be allowed to come to India and people should buy it as much as possible. But India does not want to do this with ‘non -veg milk’.
‘Non veg milk’ is available in America
Milk is generally considered vegetarian, but in America, cows are fed animal meat or blood fodder. According to a 2004 report by the Seattle Post-Intelligence, cows are fed a fodder in which boar, fish, chicken, horses, even cats or dogs are found, etc. Cattle are given horse and pig blood for protein. Animal fat is also included for getting fat. In view of this, India did not allow American dairy products to be imported into India citing cultural concerns. India has taken a clear stand on this and said that no negotiation can be done about the safety of the citizens.
Loss on import of American dairy products
Both India and America are very dependent on the dairy industry, which fills the stomach of 1.4 billion people and gives jobs to more than 8 crore people. If India opens its dairy sector to America, then it will cause huge loss to small farmers.
According to a report by the State Bank, with the arrival of American dairy products to India, the price of milk products of our country will decrease by up to 15 percent. This will cause a loss of 1.03 lakh crores to farmers annually. This is also a reason that India is adopting a defensive stand on its dairy sector. America has called it non-essential trade barriers from India.
