Cotton and soybean producers face particular threat from US trade deal

Jaipur. The main opposition party says that the trade agreement with the US will prove devastating for Indian farmers, especially cotton and soybean producers. The markets for maize and other crops will also be affected. While the prices of soybean and its value-added products are rising and strengthening in the US, the prices in India are falling. The situation with cotton is similar.

An opposition leader says that no matter what the government argues, the decline in soybean and cotton prices is a reality. The US trade agreement has already begun to psychologically impact the Indian market, which will prove even more devastating in the future. The economic situation of farmers and small traders will deteriorate.

According to the opposition party, the India-US trade agreement has raised many questions. People need to understand and understand it. This will impact the future of the country's soybean and cotton producers, causing significant losses. Opposition parties are raising the issue of the flaws and harm caused by this agreement both inside and outside Parliament, and are fighting to protect the rights and dignity of farmers.

An opposition party leader says that no government has ever deliberately attempted to jeopardize the future of small businesses, farmers, and youth in this manner. The current government, which raises hollow slogans of indigenous and self-reliance, is making inconsistent decisions under US pressure. The US President is making repeated announcements, and the Indian government is silently accepting them.
