Concerns Arise Over Genetically Modified Byproducts in India After US Trade Deal

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's close associate in the agricultural sector has expressed worries about the potential influx of genetically modified byproducts into India following the interim trade agreement with the United States. Bloomberg posted on X, highlighting that domestic agricultural groups are increasingly opposing the pact. The concerns stem from the possibility that the deal could lead to the introduction of genetically modified products, which many local farmers and agricultural organizations are resisting.
