US trade representative Katherine Tai and US secretary of agriculture Tom Vilsack announced that India is allowing imports of US pork and pork products into India, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The news removes a longstanding barrier to US agricultural trade, following the successful revitalisation of the US-India Trade Policy Forum held in new Delhi in November 2021.
'India's agreement to allow US pork imports for the first time is great news for US producers and for Indian consumers,' said Ms Tai.
'We will continue working to strengthen the US-India trade relationship and I appreciate Minister Goyal's efforts to facilitate this important development.'
Said Mr Vilsack: 'This new opportunity marks the culmination of nearly two decades of work to gain market access for US pork to India - and it signals positive movement in US-India trade relations,'
'We will continue working with the Indian government to ensure that the US pork industry can begin shipping its high-quality products to consumers as soon as possible.'
